    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

    2008 CCSB "tow truck" Slooowwww
