Would a 440ci engine pass emissions?
I was thinking of building a 440ci with a dart ls next block here in Utah we don't have a sniffer for 98+ they just plug in to the obd2 port and check readiness codes etc

EGR won't make a difference. What inspectors are looking for are cat converters and codes. Was it registered and passing emissions before the engine swap? If so, they'll just plug it in to check for codes, perhaps stick a mirror under the door to get a visual on cats and let you be on your way. If you've recently registered the car and are bringing it in for its first emissions inspection, then they may put a sniffer on the tailpipe(s). From what my most recent inspector told me, is that even high flow cats should pass the sniffer test.

Catalytic converters are depending on the state. Such as CA. If the cats were replaced or look to have been altered, they will look for the part number to see if they are emissions compliant for that specific vehicle.
I have seen cars not pass due to the number not being visible, such as they were welded on upside down. As well as not being correct for the application they were installed on.
