Oh sure there's lots of parts for the engine itself, but have fun getting it running nicely with the POS fuel system and ECM.

It's a '78 vette which means in Texas that I am exempt from emissions due to the vehicle being over 25 yrs old. Getting the fuel system sorted is as simple as a performer rpm manifold,holley 4150, and a low volume electric pump. Or even sticking with a quadrajet.

I full well understand the LS motor is superior in every way.. but that's not the route I'm going. Stepping up to a late Gen 1 with the 1 piece crank seal and roller cam has the potential to produce more than enough power to break the entire drivetrain into pieces. They weren't exactly known for being bulletproof.
