Rob-
The process described by MrMustang is correct and the only way to legally do it. I went through the state safety inspection last fall, and exepcted it to be an absolute nightmere. However, much to my surprise, the safety inspection was a breeze and the car passed with flying colors. The catch, as MrM pointed out, is to use pre-1974 block, b/c the motor must have all the emissions equipment that it came from the factory with. My block is a 1966 so I was only required to have a PCV valve.

If you get the reconstructed vehicle packet from DMV and read the regulations before going down for your inspection, the safety inspection is not that bad.

Send me private message if you want more info. Good luck.
