    im in the middle of a conversion myself. look into the victor jr or super victor intakes for a carb setup. carb is up to you. for ignition controls look at the MSD 6010 or 6012 depending on your reluctor.

    hey i completed the swap as well but in a 4x4. i used the performer intake. i decided dual plane was better then single plane for my application and as mentioned go with the msd 6010 if you are using an engine with 24x reluctor wheel and the msd 6012 if it is a 58x reluctor. this box gives you more tuning capabilities. the most inportant thing you will have to figure out is what transmission you want to run. as for the carb set up other then the intake, msd box,carb and fuel pressure regulator all your conversion stuff would be the same if you went EFI

    if you plan to run a 4l60e i would stay with the fuel injection. if not carb is a good way to go.

    I'm going carb because it fun to play with easy to change and tune. T'll run the stock trans for now 700R4 unitl it dies then build a better one down the road. The trucks just a toy so the benefits of efi dont really apply. plus some thing with a carb'd v8 fills the void of my camaro i no longer have to play with.
