Two parts to this question...
Regarding modified vehicles:
As long as the vehicle is still the same general vehicle (ie has the proper VIN # and isnt some absolutely crazy kit car) you will have no problems at the border. However, you have to pass the BC Provincial Inspection (this is the exact same inspection as you have to pass when you are given a VI). You should contact a shop that is licensed to perform this inspection to ask them specific questions about motor swaps, etc. Generally suspension, body kits, etc. are OK, but lights, exhaust, etc. are often points of contention. In terms of interior, pretty much anything goes as long as you still have seats.
Regarding aircare:
Any vehicle brought in from the US can be registered once without aircare (so essentially you have 1 year's worth of insurance before you have to renew). Then the rules are the same as locally. All vehicles 2001 or newer are exempt from aircare currently. Since your vehicle is a 94, it will need to be aircared. More info at
