What all is needed to put a carb on a 95 lt1?
GM makes an intake. I'm sure it uses the standard SBC/BBC distributor. Probably still need the weirdo water pump. You'll need a carburetor too....LOL.
I call this two steps forward (getting rid of the Opti-Spark) and half a step back (swapping the ancient TPI LT1 injection for a carb).
Good luck.
I am building a 30 ford rat rod and I have a 30k 4.3 v8 in the corner of my shop with about 2 inches of dust on it, i just hate to see it go to junk yard. I am looking for info on the water pump like you said. Who knows i have a harness i may just leave it.
Pull the heads, intake, and injection stuff off the L99 and sell it....then send it to the junk yard.
Jegs sells the Intake manifold, its a GM performance part, you also need a SBC Distributor, SBC Plug wires, By the sound of the motor a 650 carb sounds about right, ohh yea and if you decide to do this, you could have a Ls series motor installed and running in ur rat rod for about the same cost you will put into that motor.... just my 2 cents

I got a carbed LT1 in my 85 monte ss, you need carb, intake, distributor, plug for opti spark. You have to get a new sbc balancer too. Also figure how to run a bracket system for the alternator. i got mine from hotrodlane.cc
well all is done with the carb swap and it runs great and pretty quick too! Thanks
How bout some pics of your setup i bet it runs awesome!
Wow, I wonder how many fewer posts this section would have if people stopped posting the same bull crap about going LS instead...
