Re: PARTS TO CARB A LT1 You will need an intake - there is a GMPP dual plane intake that is a direct swap, but depending on your power goals that may not be appropriate. You can easily convert a Vic Jr. over.
You will need an opti-block off plate - GMPP also has one of those, as well as a distributor. If you do not already have one you will probably end up using an MSD as your ignitor.
That's about it, as far as the motor is concerned.

Re: PARTS TO CARB A LT1 Because in both road race and drag conditions a carbeurated lt1 has produced more power than a fuel injected lt1. Easier to tune {less comp tuning} and cheaper to beef up.Want more fuel bigger intake or carb instead of high pressure fuel reg and new injecters.

I would have thought a FI setup would yield more HP than a carbed one. Properly tuned of course. Is this a popular conversion? First I've heard of it.

Supporting data? The fastest/quickest LT1's are all fuel injected.

LT1 Computer tuning is simple. Once you get it set up making changes are much easier than with a carb.
If you want to do it it's easy, your motives are your own. Personally if I were going to ditch the fuel injectoion it would be because I switched to a SB400 based motor (like a 434, etc.). There is no reason to build upa LT1 over a normal SBC if you are going carbed.
