Hot Rod Magazine had an article on the e-rod engine install into a 1979 Camaro.
Cool article, cool car, the e-rod engine pricing starts at $8000!

That's the "advantage" of the e-rod engine, it already has an established emission specification (SEMA involvment... see above article), but it isn't a stripped down motor, it has the required emission components hanging on it.
Not something I am interested, but this may be a glimpse into our future?
