Found this great article for a really low cost option...

Basically going the 5.3 truck route. The cost delta is staggering. I was planning an LS3 swap which at its base is 100HP or so more. Are there any simple ways to get the 5.3 to an equivalent HP? Or should I stick with my plan for the LS3?
Second question...
I love in CA and I keep seeing these E-Rod engines. Is it against the law to swap a none E-Rod LS in CA? If not what's the point of it?
PS. This is for my 68 Camaro Conv RS build.
