Chopper, NY is a funny state. The emissions law exempts blocks prior to 1968 from any emissions test. Think 68-72 all you need is a PCV valve. After that they start doing tail pipe sniffs. I believe the Shelby and Genesis are 200x blocks, hence in the eyes of NY DMV, it would have to pass 200x emissions. good luck, huh?
KWilson: I was thinking about the effect thinner cylinder walls would have on overheating. thanks.
The car in question has an electric fan with full shroud on the engine side (puller). No fans on the outside. Also equipped with an
oil cooler. Any thoughts to the overheating potential?
Thanks!
