LSx carb manifolds? I have seen the Edelbrock and the GMPP manifolds, but I was wondering if anyone else out there were making manifolds for a carb'd LSx setup?
Anyone have any information or links? Im eventually planning on a blow-thru carb setup on a '72 Chevy C10 pickup.

Either way it isnt a bad deal, its a difference of $20-$30...

the edelbrock box has NO rev limiter whatsoever. and the timing pills are INSANE! 34 degrees is the least amount of timing.
not good for my nitrous setup at all.
i only gained 3mph on a 100 shot (1/8 mile) which sucks. i should get 6-8mph at least.
im looking into getting custom pills made for this box via msd so i dont have to rebuy the box from MSD.
sucks all around. they reel you in and toss you in the cooler, just like a fat fish.
good luck.

you need the new 6010 msd box to do anything at all.
the edelbrock box is bolt on and go.
the 6 pills for different timing curves do nothing.
ive tested all of them driving, track, dyno.... no difference.
the edelbrock is a nice piece, dont get me wrong... it just lacks adjustibility.

welded some tabs under the car and im using a rod end to adjust the alt.
unsure of the stock wiring, but a local alternator shop here can make it a "one wire" alternator like the older styles for not too much money.
good luck.
