So I decided to go quadrajet. Found a non-EGR intake manifold at the graveyard off of a '75 gmc. Had it cleaned off and then I put some paint on it. Unfortunately after I got this all together and coolant filled, I found a crack/leak . I do still have an EGR intake manifold off of an '85 gmc from which I also got the carb.
Not sure if I want to setup the EGR, I read it helps gas mileage and then I read it's bad for it. Who do I listen to? And I'm pretty sure I would have to modify my fuel tank to hook up the vapor canister. I would have to put a hole in and braze a fitting onto it for the canister vent.
Anyway here are some pics.
Last pics are of my two crossmembers. If you get the stock V8 engine mounting towers instead of keeping the inline 6 mounts, this will move your block and trans forward about 3 inches and you will need a deferent crossmember. The rusty one is the L6 and the painted one is for V8. Notice the dip on the L6.
