VRM & dcdoug: Agree, much better to have the period correct engine, especially, as mentioned, with stack or cross over fuel injection. But with the states making it more and more difficult to install these engines in all types of kit cars, the E-Rod system offers an alternative. In the example used, '55 Chev, probably would not be any problem either way , period correct or E-Rod, since it was not a kit car .

Ron: Agree, but seems odd Chev/GM would risk in their advertising and press releases the acceptance of the E-Rod system in CA if they felt it would not be acceptable.

" and thanks to close work with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the package will be accepted in California and other areas that use similar emissions test standards. "

CT, prior to exempting a few years ago all Composites ( CT name for kit cars ) from emissions testing, used a standard of all 1965 and earlier engines were OK as is and those 1966 and later had to have the emissions hardware/software based upon the year of the engine.
