I am looking for a guide or instructions for a 5.3l engine. I decided to go carb instead of fi because ecm was not purchased with engine. I have the dual plane victor jr with msd. Going back with the 4l60e that came with engine. I read where you can get a remote throttle control. Similar to a kickdown on a 700r. This is my first engine swap any info on this setup is very appreciative. The engine is going in a 84 caprice coupe.:engarde:

If you use the 4L60E, with a carb, you need a transmission controller and they aren't cheap. As for the intake, you can't have a Victor Jr, dual plane. If it's a dual plane, then it's an Edelbrock Performer. The Victor Jr is a single plane intake.
