oaah know ewe diidn'nt!Carb'd LS engines work extremely well, and are much easier fuel system and wiring wise to drop into older cars. Honestly, in drag cars and a lot of cruise applications, carbs work just fine.
But its not what a couple posters here are into, therefore its stupid!!
There are plenty of people who don't want to see wring and ECUs under the hood of a tri-five or 69 camaro.
There are plenty of people who don't want to strip a harness or pay several hundred for that, and several hundred more for tuning.
When you look at what most people want in a muscle car, most people are happy with 13, 12, 11 second cars. OK, you can take pretty much any 6.0, swap the cam, put on a dual plane, decent carb, and MSD LS ignition box, and do your swap in your garage start to finish in one weekend, and be in the 12s. (11s if you started with an LY6 or have good heads or not a heavy vehicle).
Ask Becky if she'd prefer her engine swap done and running in a weekend?
Yeah in a Jeep you want fuel injection, but they run very strong with carbs.
Yeah, what he said.because all harnesses come out of the donor vehicle with a 4 wire hook up.
And all old cars have baffled tanks with EFI pumps inside them.
And everyone has EFI live and likes to tune their car after they make changes.
Not saying EFI is dumb. I am swapping in a EFI LS3 right now into my 1969 CJ.
But carbs work fine too, in those applications.
People make that statement 'why step back 25 years in tech'... thats ignorant. Its not the EFI that is making the power on these, its the engine design.
So the guy that puts in an LQ9 with L92 heads is stepping 25 years forward in technology.
Look at car people. How many muscle car guys do you really see talking about how much they love computers and wiring?
GM sells crate LS3s, and other LSX models setup with single planes. The circle track CT motors are pretty nice.
I forgot, sorry.This is GL"4x4".. Not GL"Cars"
