I really want to rebuild one of the 350 4 bolt engines Ive been packratting.
I want to make it a carb'd car and no way connected to a computer.

Im assuming I can take the computer and all emissions out then
Also, will I need one of those torque converter lockup kits for the 4th gear? Ive got a 700r4

Anything else Ill have to do for the transmission to work?

You'll need to provide some way to lock the TCC up without a computer. Other than that the only thing the transmission needs is the correct TV cable geometry on the carb.

I guess this would be correct for lockup kit and tv geometry?

Those should work fine, as long as you have an Edelbrock carb, of course.
