You will not have any problem smogging at all. So long as your catalytic converters are good. My stang passed with the E303 cam, edelbroke aluminum heads, edelbrok intake manifold, 65mm TB/EGR, 24 lb injectors, MAF, and performance headers. Oh yea, I also had the 1.7 rr's. You should have no problem passing at all.

It should pass, but those 24 lbs injectors are completely not needed on a all motor stock headed 5.O.

He could have purchased the 93 Cobra set up though (minus the heads). Cause the MAF, rr, and intake manifold and injectors could all be from a 93 cobra. Maybe heads are down the road, or he just didn't mention them.

might need the carb #s for the mass air meter and the bigger throttle body....but i doubt they will be smart enough to figure out that's not stock.....visually it should pass fine....make sure all the smog crap is there and connected...they are very picky about that....the collectors and so forth.....as long as cats are clean and there it should pass....what year is the car?? i can give you the highs for my 87....to be able to pass if you would like them.....

Not a problem at all. Make sure you have CARB numbers handy incase the tech is a dick and you need to show proof.
