Introductions & Greetings - New from Upstate SC With Mild Pro-Touring '66 C10 Build

Hey, I'm new here and new to LSx engines. I'm building a '66 C10 as a daily driver with mild pro-touring upgrades, there's a link in my signature to the build thread. I'm now in the planning stages for the engine, and I'm leaning towards building an aluminum block L33 5.3 destroked to 4.8 for better mileage. I'm wanting to use an individual runner intake for a wider powerband and better drivability with a bigger cam, with four Weber or Dellorto carbs, and MSD 6LS/6LS-2 for ignition duties. The carbs look may exotic but can be tuned for great mileage- I picked up 12 hwy mpg and 7 tenths in the 1/8th mile when I put a pair on my '64 VW Bug.


What would be the best forum to post in to get advice for the build plan? Thanks in advance!

And if anyone is interested, here's a couple pics of my '64 Bug that's my current daily driver. It currently has a 1679cc engine with dual 36mm Dellorto DRLA's, gets 36.25 hwy mpg, and runs mid/high nines in the 1/8 mile. I'm building a ~220hp stroker engine for it that should get it into the low 12's in the 1/4 mile.

3.25" stroker crank that I've knife edged, profiled, and polished.
