lt1 Carb build I'm in need of a few answers with my Carb lt1 build...
Where do everyone route their steam vent line on a Carb build?
What is the ideal size Carb for a stock lt1?
Will 1.6 roller rockers help performance any? And will they fit under stock valve covers?

Do you run a pressurized resevoir? Otherwise wouldn't that act like a constant leak, draining the cooling system into the resevoir until it overflows. The steam line should go straight to the radiator, or could tee into a line post thermostat.
Why screwup a perfectly good LT1 by putting a carb on it?
If wanting a carbed SBC why go with an LT1 and the lone intake choice and likely tuning hassles of getting a carbed setup to not detonate with the LT1 compression?
Flip the LT1 and buy a cheaper smallblock with greater aftermarket support.
