A Revolution in Hot-Rodding

INTRODUCING THE E-ROD

The Future of Hot Rod Performance

It��s a new day at General Motors, and

a chance for us to reinvent this iconic

American company. Putting our customers first, by offering them segmentwinning product, is just part of the

new direction. GM has listened to our

customers who are asking for industryleading performance delivered in an

environmentally conscious manner..

E-ROD engines will change the way you

think about hot rods. They start, idle, rev

up, make power, get great fuel mileage,

and perform just like a new Camaro or

Corvette. Our engineers have harnessed

this technology into one emissions-legal

package, and it��s now available to you

only from GMPP.

For GM Performance Parts (GMPP), it��s

time for a fresh look at what the future

of hot rodding can be. Given the chance

to reinvent the way our customers power

project cars, the GMPP engineers set

out to deliver the hot rod industry a new

line of crate engines that offer world

class power and efficiency while producing a reduced level of emissions.

Why E-ROD?

The Revolution has Begun

With these goals in mind, the E-ROD

line of crate engines was born. E-ROD

engines offer the high performance

vehicle enthusiast or builder the same

level of GM OE power with emissions

levels similar to production vehicles.

So, why is a high-performance, emissions-legal engine important to you?

The answer for each of us varies from

��it��s the law�� to ��I want to do the right

thing for our environment��. The ultimate

answer to that question is up to you.

There are several states (as well as

foreign countries) that require emissions

compliance for specialty constructed

vehicles. This has made it increasingly

difficult for enthusiasts to build true

high-performance cars and stay in the

good graces of the law.

E-ROD engines are an answer to these

political pressures. GMPP worked

Approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)

closely with the influential California Air

Resources Board (CARB) and secured

approval that makes E-ROD-equipped

vehicles legal in California and other

areas that mirror CARB��s recommendations and emissions standards. GMPP

is the pioneer for this new era in hot

rodding, as no other O.E.M. or aftermarket manufacturer offers a comparable,

CARB-approved system.

E-ROD engines allow you the freedom of

building your Cobra kit car or ��32 street

rod with the confidence that it can be

registered and is street legal.

With the new E-ROD crate engine

package, hot rodding now comes with a

smaller carbon footprint, but the same

thrilling feel of high performance. Add it

to your favorite classic and build a newgeneration hot rod for the 21st century!
