Will have to do trimming and be creative most people just get cowl
It's up to you really you can make anything fit if you really wanted to lol

Why not just keep fuel injection just a thought both cost about the same

Re: LS carb swap

Thanks man, eh just like everyone else's excuse I don't want to mess with the wiring just yet. I plan on saving up money once I get it running and do the efi set up.
Yea man anything can be done, but I love my stock hood I've chased this hood down for years, I have the 91-92 z28 hood.

Re: LS carb swap

Lol yea I talked to him already I actually live an hour away from him which is the sad part, but I just wanna do the carb set up just to do it, once I get a bigger LS I'll go the fuel injection set up right now i have a 4.8 and it's my first engine build by my self so why not make it easier for now.

Re: LS carb swap

Don't sell the 4.8 short, sir. I'm expecting quite good numbers from mine, when I can eventually get it running again and to the dyno. lol. I whooped an SS 5th Gen in the short highway jaunt I had before the engine went. Stock LS1 tune, open loop, and dumping fuel like it was going out of style. lol
