Ford Windstar catalytic converter

Hello,
I have 1995 Ford windstar, 3.8l 6v SFI
170K miles.
My catalytic converter is plugged and needs to be replaced. I live in rural California.
Dealer and mechanics wants close to $2000 for new converter. Because I live in CA. Eastern models are $302-358

What is the difference in CA/vs/ rest of the world converters? Can I just buy one that will fit my van - even if is not "California model"? Where I live we are not required to do smog checks at all
(only when changing ownership)

My van is old and I do not see spending additional $2000 but would like to fix it to use 2-3 more months before I can buy new car.

Here is info I found on www. Partstrain. Com
