Scoggin Dickey sells the carb intake for the LT1 for like $250 or something like that...not sure which carb to use though i believe a holley 4 bbl will work and you will need a block off plate for the injectors.

other than that I don't know.

I have thought of this but then again you can't beat the efi throttle response.

If you have a Carb Intake, then why would you need a blockoff plate for the injectors?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Regardless it VERY simple. Once the Intake is had, buy the Cam Cover to replace te Opti, Install a Distributor, and that about sums it up. Granted you'll have fuel system changes, wiring changes etc, bu its all just the same as any old school car at that point.

My question is why?
