New and overwhelmed by info.

[Steve'84in]

Hi, I'm new to the site and am here for help. A little background, I'm an OEF veteran with time for a project now that I am out. I have a 1984 chevy shorted with stock 305 ci and a 350t. I bought a 2001 camaro 5.7L aluminum long block with hot cam installed. I am wanting to simply convert it to carb for now as I don't want EFI period.have tried to pull together resources for a basic foundation to do this swap and conversion, but I am overwhelmed by the information around. I need a link or links for a guide to start gathering parts. Accessory Brackets, motor mount adapters, torque converter, well everything. I don't have any hot rod shops around so this isn't as easy as bigger locals. All I have found for my year of truck is 5.3 swaps and I don't even know if that would be universal to the 5.7 I have This is my very first swap and I picked a daisy of one to start with, but I did my duty and now have some free time, which I already have the engine so no giving up or until my head explodes, which after researching I think I'm losing information. Any help would be nice of you. And thx in advanced.

You'll need to start with this

And this

Then some dirty dingo mounts

You'll need a stall to go with that cam for best results. May want to consider a 700r4 to get an overdrive and lower 1st gear.
Headers I don't know but I'm sure somebody does.
Use your radiator
Are you keeping a/c?
That a a start anyway.

you'll need a simple fuel pump because no provision for mechanical pump on the LS and maybe a regulator and I'd run a 750 Holley

Oh man an immediate response, thank you chevydillan for that. Tomorrow I'll start doing that research. Have you done this kind of swap I'm doing? And my c10 is a non a/c truck.

[Chevydillan]

I just finished a swap into a 97 truck. No a/c will make things a little easier. I'd say run a truck accessory drive set up as they are easier to find and cheaper when you do.

Okay, thanks man your a saint and a scholar. I will be in touch with you through this thread if it's okay. Everyone else is welcome to do so as well a course. Dillan what about a carb to run with that and the msd timing and curve with the pills? Is that something to get? And I saw the msd box you posted but what about the male connectors, I should say I do not have any wiring for the engine if that matters. Or is it a matter of just tuning the carb with that msd ign. Control box?
