Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Personally, I don't understand the draw of a carb on an LS engine. I know there are a couple of members with very fast track-only cars with carb'd LS1's, but for the street, it just doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

Since you're talking about the Performer carb package, I assume you want this to be a street car. In that case, at least use an overdrive transmission (TH700R-4).

If you decide to stick with EFI, then go with a 4L60E transmission.

If your intent is to street race, I will not contribute further.

youre better off with injection. switching to carb is going to be more expensive than you think.

Re: What do you think ؟؟ my project

Honestly, think of all the money you'll save with FI rather than going carb and fuel injection is the way to go these days, just my though.
