If it won't then what would be my options? Get an
LS or LT-1 that is fuel injected?? Are there any loopholes to get around if it doesn't pass?

If you install the 327 and emissions are an issue, just put it in place of the 305, hook up the tuned port induction and make sure you have a decent cam in there that's not too radical. I suggest one of the Crane Compucam series, in the 212 @ .050" duration range. An L98 cam would do in a pinch as well. Then it ought to pass emissions. It ought to make better power than the 305 but probably will not outperform an L98.
