Car Registration Renewal from inoperable status?

okay, here is the "low down" on my situation.

by the way, take it easy on my as this was my first car and my dad just threw me in the pool on this one and told me to "do my homework" on this.

I live in Northern California, My 91' Acura Integra has been inoperable since 2010 and when the DMV sent me mail for renewal my dad said he checked inoperable and sent the the Letter back to them.They stopped asking me to renew the vehicle and recently my Uncle swapped the Engine out to make it run better than it did when I had it and after it broke down obviously.

I renewed my insurance for 2012/2013 and have not had the car smog checked yet.

I was wondering what steps I should take to have my car re-registered as operational.

I checked put in my license plate #, last 5 of my Vin and zip code, checked passanger vehicle and annual vehicle registration renewal on

www.cartagz.com and they said I owe the DMV. WTH???

As of 12-17-2012

DMV Fees: $621.00

Cartagz Service Fee: $29.00

Convenience Fee:$15.53

Total Due:$665.53

Update:

okay, so what if most of the engine is there? we replaced the bottom half of the Engine. can't say from the top of my head but if you ask me some part names I might be able to remember

    junk it

    the 666 is just the start,[note on cost,666],,,unless your uncle put a1991 acura engine that pass's the smog test AND looks the same , has nothing missing,its going to cost you,,,

    What do you mean WTF,,you are in taxafornia..

    I mean you can try but your better off buying a 2000/3000 dollar already legal,,faster,,good mpg honda or the like,,,Im not jokeing,,,,buy a car that just requires you to slap on plates,,,,,do you know what engine is in it,,,the smog station will check and youll be toast
