Help with head selection

I'm looking at a 408 or 427 (351W block) for my 94 Cobra. I'm lucky enough to live in CA, so I need the exhaust bung on top of the exhaust header passenger side header to be connectable. I know I can get this with an AFR 185 set of heads, and those have the CA BAR blessing of approval for smog purposes. Is there anyway to make this work on a larger AFR set of heads and make it look like it's a 185 for passing the visibility test? Any suggestions are certainly welcome except for a move to another state idea.

Exactly! So the question remains as I'd like to be able to adequately feed the larger cube displacement. Any other heads or solutions for my situation. I can probably get a the slightly bigger Windsor past an inspection if it has all of the hardware hooked up to it.

i thought AFR 195 were smog legal? But it does sound like to me also you are refering to external EGR tube not Thermactor ports in the heads

According to AFR the 165, 185 and 195 are emissions legal, but only the 165 and 185 have the BAR number from CA :(
