    cool vid/ ? at end?

    YouTube - 2004 Silverado: Vortec 357ci

    i watched this vid, then at the end...is putting a carb in really the answer? i honestly cant see that being good for a performance set up, i mean isnt fuel injection so much better?

    that makes no sense to me

    it says because of problems with the FI system he did that. FI is way better than a carb for many reasons. half of which i don't even know, but what i do know is it cant be all that because he still has no posi

    i cant believe he used a l31 when he could have had a 6.0. for the $$ i bet he could have done much more to a 6.0

    carb's are not all that bad guys, however that eddy carb is a POS (mind you thats my .02, i hate and always will hate eddy carbs). You can get some pretty tricked out holley's (or holley based) carbs and a good carb tuner can tune them just as well as an EFI setup or damn close.

    However, in that guys case... i dont know, but you know what. It is different, and i wont knock him for that! How many gen1 SBC's do you see in 2000+ trucks LOL one of a kind!

    My question is why lol? Ask much money as hey spent on doin the swap he could have done a cammed 6L and made as much or more power with less invested. Guess its for the bling factor. Thats my 2 cents

    A gen I/II sbc would drop right in place of the 4.3 V6 so thats probly why, but he should of went with GEN III.

    Well thats all very nice....not my style at all...and honestly I think its pretty stupid to put an outdated genI SBC in there when you could do a genIII 5.3 or 6.0 and make more power for the same price. Thats just me tho.
