Default Body chop, stroking, supercharging

Hey guys, I got a much better job and want to share the live with my xj, I want to hack the body down to floorboards/windshield, and replace it with a tube cage...
I'd also like to build a 4.5l stroker
And I'd like to equip it with an eaton m90 supercharger.

I live in California and need it to pass smog still, so will the engine mods be legal? Also I can't find hardly any information on a completed xj m90 build, if you have any I'd appreciate it! I know there is plenty of stroker info out there, but any tips would be appreciated as well! Also with the body chop, I need the windshield to be legal, but want nothing but tube for body left over... Tips? Thanks guys!

I don't see a stroked and blown engine passing cali smog unless you detune the hell out of it.Why not just do a small block swap its gotta be cheaper then all that work will be.
