truk has a ramjet 350, gm crate motor with a stand alone wiring harness
there's also the e-rod motors that are california emissions ready with cats
pricey choices but again it's all what you plan to do with the truck

No smog necessary. Its a 51, so its pre 74. No smog required (thank God, its bad enough I have to smog my Powerstroke now). I don't know if driving the wheels off it is going to happen, but I would certainly like to drive it a fair amount.
