carbed LS Whats up guys, I'm going this weekend to pick up my first LS. It's going in a 87 K5. The guy already has a victory jr on it and sensors plugged. Im going to need some help, so any advice would be nice.

Being a 4x4 and a K5 (full size) Looking at sig and see it's lifted...you'd be best off to get a dual plane intake since it will be mostly under 6000rpms.

I do not have a msd box yet, I'm waiting to put my hands on the motor first. It's a craigslist deal.

Thanks, that's a old pic and swampers definitely don't hold up well on the road I'm running KM2s now they ride much smoother.

Holleys work fine also with a few tricks.
Loop the bowl vents together with a breather hole at the highest point.
Spring loaded floats.
Both help to prevent fuel slosh....but nothings foolproof.

I'm not going to beat on it anymore, it gets to expensive. I bought a 4l60e to. Still kinda confused on the fuel supply I know I need a different pump, but what else?

Just bought a 05 5.3 and 4x4 4l60e trans with t-case, it's got 90,000 miles on it. Needs a good cleaning and I just noticed the crank pulley has a chip on the edge,not sure if that's a big deal or not ill post pics tomorrow.
