Default Getting parts together for my c4 LQ9 swap, what to use?

Ok now i got the money to go full throttle on my swap. I have the LQ9 from the Silverado SS now i just need to get it ready to drop in.

I'm going to do a cam swap and carb conversion

The MSD 6010 is on order, and i have the Edelbrock manifold sitting in the garage.

Im trying to get the swap plates from vetteworks, unless there is a better place to get them, Do i get the ls1 plates or the LSx plates that move the motor back 1 inch?


Im down to 3 different barry grant carbs on jegs. I cant tell the difference between the 3 so im stuck. Im going with a 750 speed demon. One has annual boosters, do i need those? Or should i look at another brand of carb.

I need to source a oil pan that will fit, and accessories that will clear.

you might have luck sending a PM to some of the vendors on here who build engines for a living and or do conversions for people who have deep pockets..just a thought.

I would do a search on Pro-touring.com, CorvetteForum, or here for specific C4 swap info...
