As far as I know, Edelbrock makes a manifold to convert to a carb. GMHTP did a write up on this several years ago when they came out with this, so I would check with those resources first.

Why do you want to convert to a carb?

yeah i seen that kit also, i have the GM performance parts catalog and it shows LSx engines converted to carb, and also will tell u all the parts used in that conversion. I would only go carb on a street/strip car. Carb to me seems like more of a simplicity oick up a couple tenths in the quarter???

if u like how it looks that necessarily don't mean u have to go carb, u can still stay FI and have a similar appearance.

Drive mine almost everyday. I like it, but get the MSD ignition box, the Edel one is non-tuneable. Check out my cardomain for whats all installed on my car.

What about using an EFI 4150/4500 series throttle body? Same thing, except it retains the EFI. I'm pretty sure they work with a stock computer too. Maybe just a SD tune though.
