Long shot I'm sure, either way you're getting yanked by your balls for months now...

I don't think so. Vehicles need to meet emissions requirements in the US, but an engine on its own may be used for anything , including for example off road or race track where emissions requirements may not need to be adhered to. Or an engine may be imported by a manufacture solely for the purpose of testing , etc.
