did you just use the stock fuel pump and slap a regulator on it?

For the fuel sys I pulled the stock pump and replaced it with union fitting and a piece of straight tubing that was the same length as the elec pump. Mounted a Holley Blue pump just outside the tank and a regulator in the engine bay. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done

Hi man , congratulations your project look so sweet!
The 700r4 you used in the car was the factory one that came in the Iroc?
If so what kind of adapter you did to make it fit the LSx?

I love seeing carbed LSx motors in 3rd gens! Awesome build!

What kind of gas milage are you getting with this set up? I am putting a 5.3/4L60E into my 1988 IROC and I am currious about how well these carb set ups work. I love the look of them and I have heard some pretty good remarks about them too.

Great looking car!

If I can stay out of it from fill up to fill up it gets right at 16 mpg. That's with a 4:10 gear and 275/60r15 28" tall tire
