I was wondering if this combination of performance parts would be 50-state legal:

Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock headers (50-state legal), cranecam powermax (50-state legal), and rebuiding the cylinder heads.

All I new is that CraneCam Powermax and the Edelbrock headers are 50-state legal. Not sure about the other stuff.

I was also thinking about rebuilding the TBI.

Yeah that all should be street legal, the Edelbrock Performer TBI #3704 is the 50-state legal performer option for your car. Otherwise as long as they are all labeled 50-state legal and have a CARB number you'll be safe with emissions.

 

If I rebuild my heads to get some power out of'em, do you think it'll stay within legal limits?

No reason it shouldn't, there's absolutely no way I could see any emissions place to possibly be able to tell if heads have been rebuilt. Although I will say that I wouldn't waste my money on any work into your stock LO3 heads, they just don't flow well no matter what you do due to their swirl port design. I'd say leave the heads alone for now then later on if you have some cash for heads go aftermarket (if you can find 50-state legal heads, not sure on that one) or pick up some heads off an 87-later TPI F-body. Casting 081's I believe they are, you can pick them up cheap and port them a little and get some decent power out of them for not much money.

 

Edelbrock Aluminum Centerbolt heads are 50 state legal, 1100 and pair fully assembled

 

My prayers have been answered!!! Thanks guys.

I'm hoping to get at least 260hp outta these mods (fingers crossed and knock on wood). Praying for 290hp though.
