LT1 6 speeds are great man, you will love it. Otherwise, i hate the edelbrock carbs like the one in your pic, Holley is the way i roll.

Nice ride.

Ya i agree on the edelbrock. It was on the motor when I picked it up. It likes to run a little rich on startup but one it warms up she cruises out nice. I only tach 2200 rpms in 5th gear at 70 mph. I also bought a spectre air intake system for it just waiting on it to show up.

Sure has a nice looking belt system.

march pulley system the whole package with msd and carb cost my buddy 7500 it was installed but only had around 50 miles on the motor when i pulled it from the chevelle
