89 iroc 6.0L swap
In about a month i'm going to be starting the swap. Right now the car is a 350 TPI. Below is what its going to be. I'll post up pics and progress once we get started.
6.0L iron truck block and heads
Truck style coils
LS1 intake, injectors and fuel rails
4th gen exhaust manifolds
TH350 trans (I know not the best thing to use but thats what cam with the car when i bought it so i'm using it for now till i can find and built a 4l60e)
Thats all the major stuff I can think of right now. The motor will all stock, I'm hoping to put down 300 to the wheels.

Going to be starting the project in a week or two, But wanted your guys opinions on something. I've been thinking about switching to 42lb injectors and running E85. I know there would be some performance gain but I was more looking for the savings at the pump. Any thoughts and opinions or any with millage numbers would be great.
Thanks,
Thanks,

You'll need to upgrade your fuel system, tank (if it's metal), correct fuel hose, stainless lines, you cant use the LS1 fuel rail with the shorter injectors. The only stainless rail option would be the stock or modified truck rail. You'll get lower fuel milage and there are recent talks about dropping the $0.45/gal gov subsidy.
