There is an importer of JDM engines in SC.  I cannot remember the name
right now, but I found them while I was looking for a DET for my SCC
article.  Try searching the web.  Or you could search the archives.  I know
I've posted their name before and mentioned they were in SC (or perhaps it
was NC).

No.  But, you can still swap in a high port.  Or, if you want you can swap
heads - put your low port head on the JDM.

Nope.

If you're worried about emissions, then swap the head from the US to the
JDM.  Or you could get a hold of JGY and see what he has.  He might be able
to fix you up.
