1st, hit your CAPS LOCK key.
2nd, easiest way is to get the GMPP LT1 carb intake. any other intake you'll have to modify a couple of the bolt holes. you'll also need either a opti block off plate for the timing cover, or just leave the opti in place. any distributor will work.

But I agree with FI being the prime setup on our lt1s, it's just when you get to a point like where I'm at now, you start pricing something like FAST or BigStuff and for $3500 to set it up right, you can't help but look at going carb, it's just tempting.
