Carbed LS-1 in 1977 corvette with sidepipes! Just finished this project after about 8 months of work.
LS-1 is bolted to a TKO-600 with a RPS lightweight clutch and flywheel.
Carb is a holley DP 780 cfm
I stayed with manual clutch linkage aswell
pipes are modified hooker sidemounts (Rick Crane out of Melbourne, FL did the pipework and did an awsome job at at it)

Sounds pretty good, but a little softer then the old engine with a big duration cam, I am gonna be looking at swaping out the stock mufflers inside the pipes for some baffles.

I highly reccomend the Sweet Thunder chambered mufflers. They are like glasspacks without the glass packing and you weld them on 'backwards'. I had them on my 01 Z06. Made 465rwhp 422rwtq on a stock bottem end 2 years ago. I also ran them on my previous lt1 car and i'll be running them on this car as soon as i decide that the 3" straight pipes are too loud.
