OBD1 was ramped in from the early 90's..
OBDII mandatory in the US from 1996 onward.
OBDIII Currently in deployment in high horsepower to weight vehicles.
In the US to keep the car 100% legal the motor has to be same year or newer as the car chassis.. It is a federal offense, albeit seldom enforced to put a OBDI engine in a OBDII car, and if you sell it, the buyer can jack you up any time they want and get their money back no matter how "as is" the sale is. Its not possible to completely sign away a federal legal requirement.
Not a layer just a guy who's watched enough friends go down in flames in small claims court to be paranoid..
