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 :slice:
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 :hyper2:
yeah...i just honestly think figuring out the FI problems would be worth it....
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
sounds like a dumbass
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 centsQuote:

Well thats all very nice....not my style at all...and honestly I think its pretty stupid to put an outdated genI SBC in there when you could do a genIII 5.3 or 6.0 and make more power for the same price.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