Mathew welcome, nice ride.
AS for the ?old" comments gents lets be politically correct, and just say seasoned members LoL.
One of the ways folks out here get around emissions is by changing the status of their car/truck to classic status. It has it's limits of how much you can drive it etc. but The vehicle has to be atleast 25 years old and you cant drive it more than about 2,500 miles a year. But I know a lot of serious street car racers that do this to get around the emissions stuff. Not a six but for instance a good friend has a late 80's camaro with 6.3 truck motor in it and no smog stuff. Drives it to shows and cruises.
