Any info on CA registration, SB100 vs 1965 block also would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not true. The vintage block will not make anything easier for you during registration. You will use "year of manufacture" that the car replicates (1965) in order to gain the smog exemption and sticker.

BTW, a Pond block is a reproduction of the original block with casting numbers. With the Pond block painted, there is no difference in appearance.

Bottom line: You will still need to go through the SB100/SPCNS process with your new ERA.

EDIT: Rodney beat me to it.
