Default Motor Swap Laws

SO i'/ve been towing with the idea of doing a motor swap for my truck. I want to put a diesel in it.

In CA it looks like a Heavy Duty truck is anything over 14,000 GVW and i've found a few 12,000 GVW isuzu box trucks so that motor should be ok and They do have adapter kits so im not to worried about trans.

The other option that i see is a trooper motor from Japan, This is the one i'm not 100% sure about i've seen other (non ca) people do this swap. But i'm not sure CA is allows this.

Any help is useful.
