Roger-------the manifold is a way to go if a person wants to just put a carb on an LT1 for some other era car, but the costs are a lot higher than the $300 ------you will need a carb, air cleaner, fuel pump and lines, regulator,etc plus of course the complete ignition system-a person going that route will be spending maybe as much as $2500?----


Now , not to say that he won't be spending $$ on this conversion, but it does allow the keeping of an excellent EFI system and basicly just getting rid of the opti. I myself never had any issues with an Opti but I want to move it out to get rid off the wires down there so I can mount the alt and a/c close to crank area-- However, on my wifes 33 I did move the engine back toward cowl for more room behind radiator and its tight where the dist goes----but the driveshaft is shorter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A dumb question for you Jerry, could one work a crank trigger system onto an LT engine? I love their simplicity and easy of adjustment on the timing! Just curious and wondering if you have done one?
