CA says it's not legal so I'd have to put in another 95 civic engine and continue to pollute

This is false, as I know and have went through engine changes with the BAR Referee's. You can put in the same year engine or NEWER, as long as it is the same vehicle class; ie car to car, truck engine to truck, etc. and you ADD/include any and all SMOG equipment that originally came with that engine.
You CANNOT put an OLDER engine into the car.
