sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you. does this shell still have a wiring harness in it? if so i would scratch the carb plans and just put a injected lsx based motor in it. ive been thru the whole carb tuning thing and really despise having to rejet and tune the dirty way everytime the weather changes. definately will not be cheap either way you go but dont give up on it.
