Wow! 519hp & 447Tq...With just the carb and Distributor...LS1's are awesome

 

I was talking to a friend and this is pretty much what I said^^^^I mean with just a 100shot,cam and Headers the car would be a beast...I'm going to have to see how much all this will cost.

 

the real question is, why would you want to?

If you want carbed get a 454-502 Engine

 

Why when you can have a lighter drivetrain and make just as much power and be more reliable...

 

Forged 454 with a weian charger would be VERY nice on that 1970 Chevelle

 

HAHA maybe, but I would still honeslty prefer the carb'd ls1 paired with a t56

 

8-71 blower on just a 355 would do the trick

 

yes you can carb an LS1, i was just reading my summit racing order book today in class and they just came out with new intake manifolds and everything else so that you can carb an LS1... its not a dumb question, i was wondering it 4 a while myself...

 

the only reason you would go with a big cube motor is to keep the revs low, and lots of torque. thats the key to a long lasting engine though...dont make the engine perform at its limits...get a light ass chassis (rx7, 240, fox, miata, civic, s2000 etc etc) and you dont need gobs of power...a mildly cammed 377 with some decent heads, nice converter leaving off a TB could put you reliably in the mid low 10's, not having to spin over 6k and letting you be cheaper on parts if you wanted.
