Default Possible new idea for 4.2 motor...??

Sooooo what if instead of putting the M90 on the 4.2 and "possibly" not passing smog I went for a P&P split port swap with intake spacer???? I couldnt possible see a way that I would fail smog as its just a "newer" 3.8....I know I wouldnt be putting out as much power but I will sacrifice power for piece of mind right now. Sorry ESG I know I keep going in circles....anyone know of possible power output number on that set up?

Like I said, if the M90 isn't going to pass neither is a split port swap.

Well ESG has helped me make up my mind. Im going to go with the M90 (im thinking install will be in early October when I have my next paid week of vacation) and then Ill start the process of having to jump through the hoops that are California smog regulations. Still looking for a harmonic balancer for the new motor as I am going from external balance to internal. Any links for said parts? Also, what do I do with the flywheel?
