ive talked to the smog techs at my dealer about smogging a 408, and they said as long as all the oem smog equipment is in it is proper place theres no problem cause they dont what the engine bay should look like anyways. i think as long as there no aftermarket brands sticking out like for example afr sig. on the head then they wont have a reason to suspect you of anything, plus theyre not gonna waist time looking for engine casting numbers. get the tune dialed in for the sniffer,get oem exhaust manifolds and make sure all youre smog equipment is there.

I would think with the smog equipment in place and functioning you will be alright with the bigger cubes I would just have the car tuned lean for the sniffer.
