I'm trying to line up all my ducks before pulling the trigger on a kit purchase. One nagging issue is registering the vehicle and passing smog in California. I am aware of SB100, but getting one of the 500 exemptions handed out each year could take some time.
That said, I'm wondering how I can pass smog without SB100 (and what smog requirements would I have to pass)?
Hopefully some of you can give me some guidance on the following options:
1. Use an old motor like a 289. Cost? Sources? Streetability? Performance?
2. 302 with webbers. Do I have any chance if getting a referee to pass this motor?
3. 302 with EFI. Would it pass? What year standards would I have to comply with?
4. Other Ford V8 options of at least 300-350 HP?
Many thanks,
Mark
