If you are in CA, the state, you'll have to pass CARB review and SMOG tests(annually).

The easiest, almost bolt-in, is a Turbo T-bird along with transmission.

An OBD-II 2.3 from 2000+ would need to interface a turbo to an EFI system. Good luck with that.

You could also use a 2.3 from a SVO Mustang. Powerful enough to scare you(me, anyway). Again, an almost-bolt-in situation.
Either of the above might pass SMOG tests. I don't live in California any more, so can't say how difficult it is these days.
