Okay cool. So after a lot of research, for the the ls1 carb conversion, the prices the ease of install, I have decides to order almost everything made for this swap minus the 4l60e, and the ls accessory brackets tensioners, pulley system and crank pully, from schwanke. I spoke with a guy who at their shop, that this is their specialty along with engines of the lsxxx. Great price for everything harness computer fuel system headers plates hardware , then specific for my truck I ordered the painless harness to gut out my truck and install, last guy spliced into everything when he owned it, it's easier and cleaner for install. So far all of that is cheaper than just a factory harness and computer plus a tune compared. I really wanted to carb but it's just not gonna happen.

I think you'll really like fuel injection.

Okay I have a dilemma though should I use the ls truck series accesory drive and brackets etc? even though I putting this in my 84 c10 ,the engine is a 01 camaro ls1 alum. , can I use that accesory drive etc system from the car if I fine the whole system or etc. or do I have to use the truck ls ones?

+1 on the fuel injection. theres a slight learning curve at first but once you get just the smallest concept of it, you will love all the perks of it. plus the LS was designed to run that way.

anyway, from all the searching i did, it seems most of the time you stick with either one or the other for accessories. there might be 1 or 2 things that are interchangable but for the most part they are not. that includes the intake and TB as a car intake/TB will hit the upper hose on the truck water pump.... so whatever you can get cheaper id say.

So I can get the same year accessories for the camaro/trams am from '01 minus a cable operated throttle body and be fine? I'm not doing drive by wire period, just gonna change the throttle body to cable operated as per the gurus at schwanke.
