Nice, but a warning now, you are gonna get ripped for putting a carb on there.

Nice, and welcome.

Its hard to beat a carb this engine in efi form with an ls6 intake threw down 330hp on a engine dyno with the victor jr and the holley that jumped to 380hp with out the g5x3 cam with the cam and the carb it threw down 440 who's getting ripped now.

You are, idiot.

I don't see why people ruin a good thing.

x2 Carbs are for Lawnmowers

proper carb setups actually make a little more power then fuel injection....

And you lose all the reliability and tuning of fuel induction. I would never sacrifice that for what little extra power could be made.

Calling someone else an idiot because they used a carb in a swap on an old vehicle? That's a little strong.

And fast stuff sometimes. Used to be people that had carbs were scared of FI because they knew nothing about it....NOW it's the opposite.

What's fuel induction? Some people can tune carbs too bro. :coffee:

The only sacrifice you give up with a carb setup is fuel mileage... Do a little research on it and you will be surprised. Do you actually think all the Vic intakes were designed for FI applications...

See, a ripping. :lol: I have nothing against carbs, I agree with Nathan people were scared of EFI when it was introduced (my Dad still is, but mostly because he hasn't been a full time tech for 20 years) now everyone knows EFI so carbs are the devil. Both have pros and cons and both have to be fine tuned to be perfection.

sweet set up. im doing the same thing with a 6.0 for my 67 camaro. people dont know what they are talking about. i think its bitchen man. good choice

different strokes for different folks

The carb vs. efi question is about to be answered in Popular Hotrodding magazine's Engine Masters challenge. This round they are allowing pretty much any engine with any type of fuel system. There will be LSx based engines and even F**d mod motors in the challenge. No power adders allowed this round but it may be in the cards next round. :rock:

Meant injection. It's been a rough day. Anyways, other than mileage, carbs do tend to need to be retuned for altitude and other factors. I've had both fuel injected and carbed vehicles and I'll never go back. That's for damn sure.

nice what plates did you use and did the drive shaft have to be modified?

Nice setup.Don't worry what anyone else says.

Very sharp looking.
Looks like the motor out of Reggie Jacksons 69 camaro...
