Does the year of smog exempt vehicles change in California?
No, after the first 3 years of a car it needs to be smogged to register the car. I think the only exception to this is hybrid models. I have a hybrid that is 6 years old and never had been required to have a smog done.

What is the best year in a 460 ford?
73 or thereabouts & earlier. Most pre smog engines have better heads/compression, but any 460 is good by today's standards. I would get one old enough to be exempt from smog checks if you want brute power.

Is a 1977 Ford F-250 truck exempt from Calif smog.?
No, its not exempt. There were differences with the GVWR that the heavier models didn't have a smog pump while the light duty F-250's did have them. Effective 04/01/05: All vehicles 1976 and newer vehicles will be tested according to state emission law. This law repeals the 30-year rolling exemption.
What is a car smog?
smogging a vehicle tests the amount of pollutants in the exhaust fumes, verifying the amounts of hydrocarbons and unburned fuel, in accordance to the state in which you reside, assuring that your vehicle is within the specifications of the EPA regulations. Failure of this test is detremental to the registration process. an "exempt" status may be the alternitive to passing the smog by repairing or tuning the vehicle with at least $250.00 towards passing smog test, and another smog. Failure of this test ( with financial and physical proof of repair ) will deem this vehicle exempt for one year..(at least in the state of nevada) good luck to you my friend, JM
