LS is all multipoint fuel injection. I don't know why you would go carb on it. They are also not heavily laden with emissions. Really simple and reliable. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Haha, yeah that will make the swap a lot cheaper. I will say AC is awesome [emoji41] Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

The 8.1 uses the same motor mounts as the 454 so physically it occupies the same space and the exhaust bolts up to it. Wiring is readily available for the same price. The 8.1 from an electronics standpoint is pretty much identical to an LS. Two things hold you back. One is engine...

I am not saying that old cast-iron small blocks are junk and maybe 15 years ago this would be a different conversation. I am just advocating that you can get a harness and motor mounts for under $1,000. You can make an entire swap fairly cheap these days. 15 years ago the aftermarket support...

I have advocated this before and the cronies give me flack because of what I am saying. If you have a CUCV and want some luxury like AC, overdrive, and maybe some more power, then the LS is by far the easiest way to get there. For maybe $3k ballpark, you are into an LS which comes with a...

That must be a pleasure to drive with a 5 speed and all that insulation. I'm rocking a TH400 and bare metal floors. I swear I am going deaf... Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I think getting replacement parts for any of those is difficult since they are either really old architecture like the the first one you posted or a custom aftermarket one. If I had to do it I'd go aftermarket. Most likely they are based on a common off the shelf part that you just need to find...

What kind of kit are you using? My friend wants to do an EFI conversion on his 3.5 Land Rover but he is hesitant to use the new all in one kits. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I will say that if you don't want AC or don't care to find the elusive van bracket for the compressor, the 8.1 is just as cheap of not cheaper to swap. Especially if your truck is already a big block. But anything LS is probably the best you can get for the money. I'm not sure I understand...

I don't think you can go wrong with an LS for pretty much every reason. You can play the game of what happens if... Well if your injection pump solenoid fails or an LS needs a throttle position sensor. Let me know which one you can have in your hand first. I think the other part of the...

I guess I'll be the first to ask...what is the budget? My first step would be to junk the TH400 for something like a 4L80 if you want to stay auto or have a desire to keep up with everyone else on the road. Since you don't want to stay diesel that eliminates that lineup. I have to say...
