Re: Engine choice
Sorry 8man but I don't know why anyone doing a modern V8 engine install ESPECIALLY an LS wouldn't install fuel injection?
Not only do you get greater horsepower & torque but also much improved drivability AND much better MPG....not to mention less emissions.
FYI, you can use sbc valve cover adapters (as I did), a throttle body that looks like a carburetor along w/an air cleaner, you can relocate the coils so they are not visible. Yeah, you can still see the fuel rails but if they're black they're not super noticeable. Picture is a 2011 LQ4 in my '55.2.
Your call, but I feel we'd be doing you a disservice to not at least suggest it.
