I was reading up on the laws if I went back, and at least in Clark County it sounds like there are separate more lenient rules for cars from 1967 and older. If I went back I would have to downsize my hoard anyway. I would probably just stick to cars that meet that 1967 benchmark,

I thought it was cars ‘68 and older but you might be right. Of course my car is a ‘69.
If I ultimately have to have my car smogged, the guy at the DMV who does VIN and odometer inspections eased my fears when told me the bar for that test is set pretty low.
With the 455 I’m building, the cam has moderate overlap. However 10:1 compression and Edelbrock heads with CNC’d [emoji3531] chambers ought to help burn up what’s coming out the tail pipe. I’ve decided that I’m not going to worry about emission tests until I have to start worrying.
Vegas has grown up a lot since you’ve been gone, and the housing prices have too, but it’s still really popular. Here in Reno it’s no different. I first moved to Reno in ‘74 and the metro area had 75,000 people. I moved back in 2015. Now we’re closer to 500,000 but it’s still a very livable city in a great location. Gas is high here like most west coast states (currently right around $5/gal plus or minus a few cents) but there is still no state income tax.
I lived in the Atlanta area for 15 years (‘90-‘05) and while I love the area and my oldest son still lives there, it had (has?) it’s share of weirdness. I stopped telling certain native Georgians I was originally from Connecticut. Ever see the movie 2000 Maniacs (original), or 2001 Maniacs (remake)? I might have been “A Guest of Honor!” Damn carpetbagger yankee!! hahaha.
