You will definitely need a bypass fuel pressure regulator to keep from blowing out all the seals out of the carb. If you have an auto, you will need to rig up a throttle position sensor to the carb, and have a tach signal from the distributor for it to shift properly. Possibly a bigger hood to clear the carb and air cleaner

The computer can still be used? And what happens with other things like fuel injectors and what not

You will have to remove the injectors, the cam position sensor, maf, and most all of the electronics from the engine. If you have a 5 speed you could remove the computer, but the automatic is computer controlled and will still need some input from the engine to properly shift.

The electrical signal sent between the trans and the computer to tell it when to shift. You would probably be in a better position if you swap to a non-computer controlled trans.

In all honesty, its not worth it. You more then likely will see little to no power gains. If you were building a motor for a drag car, then go for it, but if its a mostly street car then just stick with fuel injection.

For what you'd spend on that kit, minus a good carb, you could set up a good fuel system to handle a good amount of power.

Anything is possible, just a matter or how much time and money your willing to put into it. The first one is a blown windsor engine (i assume a 302). Thats fairly simple, but depends on if you have state inspections or not.

I know its blasphemy.... but I personally think an LS1/t56 swap would be pretty awesome.

But remember, theres alot that goes into any swap or large increase in power in terms of supporting mods.

A turbo LS1 would be fricken awesome

Wonderin' why.

In a nutshell:

Remove *all* EFI from the car. If your car is an EAOD, you are also swapping that out right away, straight off, and getting a new driveshaft and/or yoke to make it all work.

Plonk said carb manifold on the engine, and the carb of your choice. Oh, and somewhere, if it's not on the old manifold, the injector holes must be plugged up.

Also put on a new distributor, as well as an electronic ignition box, and pretend it's a late '70s, early 80s car, in effect.

Plugs, wires...

And whatever key on, engine on, battery sources you need to make all that work.

In other words... that's a whole lot to put on an EFI v6 engine. And assuming that's what you're saying you want to do.

I simply... wouldn't. You're not gaining anything. Unless it's for more horses. I'd instead investigate a blower or nitrous before I'd be gutting the EFI stuff.
