Re: New member, with a new project.

Probably blow through on the 350. It's pretty easy to convert a Holley HP to blow through yourself, no need to buy a big name carb for $$$$. This first iteration with the 350 will be budget minded. If I LS swap it, which I most likely will later down the road, then I will use EFI.

Re: New member, with a new project.

Well, looks like the LSx swap is going to happen sooner than later. I just paid for an LQ9 not too far from here, gonna go pick it up next Friday. Not exactly what I wanted, but for $250 I can't beat it lol. its a long-block minus the tins but I can take care of that easy. Now I get to go scour the u-pull yards for a 4L80E I can convert to manual valve body.

Yeah I've seen some successful blow thru conversions, and I've seen some miserable failures. I bought mine from c&s specialties. Would've had to buy a carb to convert anyway, so I figured I may as well let the experts handle it. One less headache. I'll be watching your build, I like where its headed.

I ordered them from LMC Truck, and they are the original over the shoulder style. They are not exactly like the originals, but a big improvement over what the truck came with. I do still have my old ones, but they are very faded and frayed.
