At SEMA GM Performance Parts introduced a line of engine packages that was displayed through their ’55 Chevy project car called E ROD. The new E ROD line starts with the famed LS3 power plant - with the LS7, LSA, and LS327 options coming later. What does this package mean for you? With the help of GMPP, making your vehicle both powerful and smog/CARB legal is now a simple bolt in procedure. They are able to do this by offering complete engine packages that will include all the necessary components to pass the rigorous smog regulations. Even if you live in California, this engine package is legal for use in your state as well.
