Probably would be best to state your budget and what horsepower level you're looking to achieve.

IF YOU GOT THE MONEY FOR A DART IRON BLOCK OR AT LEAST A SPORTSMAN BLOCK GO TURBO- IF YOU ARE ON A BUDGET AND ARE USING A STOCK BLOCK GO WITH A SUPERCHARGER(VORTECH)- I PERSONALLY AM MORE FOND OF THE BIG SINGLE TURBOS OR AT LEAST TWIN 50ISH TO 60ISH MM TURBINES- MAN THOSE TURBOS ARE NASTY-

500 to 600 HP can be very easy to achieve via 331 and a vortech s-trim... The most important thing is a real good tune. Smog isn’t an issue here. Just remember you’re on barrowed time anytime your approaching 500RWHP on a stock production block...

There are no smog legal turbo kits unless you can find an old Icon systems kit. Although a turbo 331 would be the shit

A 331 with a good set of heads (TFS CNC ported or AFR185's), custom cam, and about 10-12 pounds of boost should get you close to 500rwhp.

Is a stroked supercharged 351 smog legal? You can try to pass it off as a 302 I guess.

Isn't there anyway aroung smog? Here we can just registar our cars in a county that does not do smog. Or if you spend more than $300 dollars on smog related repairs, and still fail, you get you tags, and registration anyways. I made up a fake work order, and took it to a smog place once. I know there is pollution problems there, but there must be some way around it isn't there?

There's always ways around smog However, California has the strictest emissions standards in the country. It's a lot easier to try and build a car that is smog legal than to try and get around it. It will be a PITA to sell a car in CA if it won;t pass smog.

i would think a 331 ci /vortech s trim 12psi/custom cam etc, would be closer to 600rwhp if not more...
