For what power levels?

Not a fan of the carb'd 350. It has 160,000 on it, heads flow like shit, it's stock besides HEI distributor which Overkill Customs in Hines helped me install today after massaging the firewall a bit to fit it, an edelbrock carb, and an edelbrock intake manifold. To get to the 350-400 whp hp naturally aspirated it will take a lot more for a 350, or I can get $1600 saved up, buy the $850 LQ4/4L80E combo with computer and harness up here, then spend the rest on parts to swap it in and make over 300whp and 300ft/lbs of torque bone stock. So add LS6 intake manifold, headers, and a tune from Andy at Dynotune USA and I'm sitting above 350 which is my goal, plus I'd get better gas mileage. I get 20 mpg with the 3.08 gears in my rear, bonestock_442 gets 20mpg while making 800whp and running 4.10 gears with his LQ4, point being I can get new gears to wake it up even more, while maintaining gas mileage.

I plan to replace the rear with a bumper from an s10 blazer, looks like this:

I think a blacked out grill and a roll pan would make some nice added touches as well. 🙂

You can always vortec swap if you want efi, or god knows there is just a little aftermarket support for standalone efi systems, but I'd leave that powerplant in place. Bottom line is the sky's the limit with what you have and in the end the 350 parts will be cheaper, especially since you could get a lot of stuff used.

Steering wheel is a Grant, seats and console are from a 91 Bravada and are buckets instead of the 60/40 split that was in it.

Sweet! What does that thing weigh?

Anywhere from 2600-2800 is curb weight. This thing is tiny and similar trucks are at about 2650-2700 lbs.

And the 350 will be in it for awhile but It's just not what I want. I found a 4l80e LQ4 pullout for $850 I may jump on and stick in a corner until I'm ready for it.

A few people have told me to stick with the carb'd 350 setup but I just don't like it, not my cup of tea so I will EVENTUALLY get rid of it. I may do some minor things to wake it up like swapping out the 3.08 gears, getting a locker for the rear, a proper dyno tune etc for the time being.

Swapping in another set up when you have an equally capable set up allready in it is silly.

Since its already setup with the 350 I would advise to just put some parts on that, no reason to swap to LSx. Get a nice set of heads and cam and it will be plenty fast!

Word of warning, its either the Holley blue or red pumps that spontaniously combust on occasion and usually fail randomly. One is decent, the other one is garbage. It escapes me to what one is which though. Im too lazy to look for the thread that talked about it somewhere...

Got the same steering wheel as my Cutlass too! :icon_cheers:
