Negative...too much and not vintage, but thanks.

Has anyone here smoged a new block motor and passed? Say in the 392-408 range. If you have passed, what did you have to do to the motor to pass...in other words, did you have to put the Autolite 4100 carb on, or heat riser from the exhaust...etc.

What about the big block crowd...390 and 428...did you pass SMOG?

I am learning a ton from everyone's response...thank you.
