my friend have a lt1 out from a caprice 96. But no computer, only manifold and fuel inyectors.

ok I donk know nothing about fuel inyection ok!

i know that summit sales NAL-24502592 ( carb manifold), but what about the distribuitor?? does my edelbrock carb fits??

what about my heathers???

LT1s use the same headers as a SBC, but they have D-shaped ports. Hedman makes headers for that style port IIRC.

GM performance parts is the only mfg of a carb manifold for the LT1 as far as I know, but its designed to use any normal 4bbl carb - Holley, Qjet, Edelbrock, etc.

Any SBC distributor can be used.

 

Just like that??

 

Just like that

 

what about the water pump?????


can i use the traditional??

 

Nope, you have two main choices

LT1 cam driven (you wont have any trouble using it.

LT1 stock housing with electric pump that bolts into the front and you plug the rear drive hole, the pumps come with the plug to fill in said hole.

 

ok

 

so. I take the old manifold, put the new one! and carb and distribuitor.

bolt on and go!!

is that it?

 

Pretty much, yea. Its not alot different than the TPI guys changing over to a carb, just the particulars are different. Its pretty straightforward.

Oh, one thing I did forget to mention - on the LT1 timing cover, you will have to plug the hole for the Optispark, as you'll no longer be using it since you have an old style distributor. I think just a large freeze plug should be fine.

 

thanx man!!

 

It would be cheaper to find a used LT1 harness/PCM set-up than it would be to convert to carb.

Keep it like God intended, or sell the engine and get a "regular" SBC 1 to put in your car.

 

You would end up with more in the kit to convert it to a carb than doing like five7 said and buying the PCM and harness seeing you have everything except that.
