Is there a significant difference between the emmisions requirements of a 84 and those of a 01 XJ? Basically, I wonder if there is any year VIN that would not require cat converter, etc? If I wanted to piece together an XJ with as little parts as possible but still maintain EFI is it possible and is there a way to get around it legally? I'm thinking early model VIN body, with all the conveniences of a 01 like the injection, steel hatch, new model doors, even front valence (I prefer that look). I just wonder about getting the under-hood area emptier and simpler. Also, are there significant improvements to the uni-body of the later models, and can they be compensated for with a welder and some bracing? Thanks for any input and discussion.
(BTW, have not purchased XJ yet, so have options to buy either or both, as there are regularly really cheap early models, and really cheap late models with tired engines, etc.)
