i though it was if that engine code, ie, c20let, was put in cars before 1992 it wasn't necessary to have a cat on? despite the year of the car the engine is now in?

Not too sure what you're getting at, but it goes on the year of the engine, not the shell.

as soon as they see the letter (c) on the engine code they will know it has cat as standard., ever c20let came with a cat as standard from factory no matter what year car it was in.

^ true, but GM fitted cats before it was a legal requirement.
You need to prove that EITHER your car or engine was built before 1/1/1996

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
