Texas is a pretty engine swap friendly state. I managed to get my LS1 FD inspected and tagged no problem.
Just a few general points about my inspection experience.

The inspector can refuse to pass the car if the back up lights don't work. It happened to me in my 1968 Firebird. To pass, I had to get a NOS part off eBay since this is not an O'Reilly's or Pep Boyz part and it is no longer kept in any GM warehouse. Luckily, the bidders on such a part are a very thin crowd.
