im kinda set in what im doing i want the low end torque that a carb produces. i heard that a new radaitor will be needed cause of the reverse flow and a new fuel pump or regulator to lower the fuel pressure? im trying to confrim this before i start.

Re: motor swap
you will need the check valve in the heater hose to keep it cool. I would have to say FI is the way to go too.If it was me it would be a LS1 or the L98, LT1 im not a big fan.Would like to see pics when you done. good luck.
