my two cents, keep the engine efi, slap the 60e tranny on its ass end, forget the intake and be happy.

Ive been around these engines enough to know its stupid, but I want it to look good when I pop the hood. Im gonna be doing a few more agressive mods, so I might actually be able to use some of the power the Vic jr will make lol, seriously, I just want to use the Vic Jr cause it looks badass IMO, I know they make power a little higher in the RPM range than I really want, but Ill deal with it. Shouldnt be too different than my 5.3 with the 218/224 cam running on the stock converter lol

I honestly don't understand the use of a carburetor on any LS series engine. The way they came from GM, they start ALOT better, they run ALOT better from the slowest idle to wide open throttle & everything in between, AND they get the BEST fuel mileage in both city & highway driving, than any other V-8 engine that GM has EVER designed. Overall driveability is also a night & day difference. Not only that, but with a simple, affordable, computer tune...all of the above qualities can actually be IMPROVED upon.

I remember reading somewhere before I dropped in my 6.0L/4L80 combo into my 84 that your mileage sucks from switching it over to a carb. It said something along the lines of if it's fuel injected, leave it fuel injected. Its designed to run a certain way. Alot of people I talked to told me to run a carb and don't even mess with the efi, but that would have defeated the entire purpose of my build. If I wanted to run a carb, I would have dropped in a 454 or something lol It drove me absolutely nuts when everyone kept telling me what I should do and how I should have done it.

I got a old school 350 for it too, but for what it would cost for me to get it where I want, I could do the GEN III swap for way cheaper. I think Im going to stay EFI, and just get the Vic Jr intake. Fortunatly I could care less about the mileage it gets, it wont be driven enough to really matter
