completed carbed 383 LT1
Well finally got her finished and running and despite all the objections to my choice of a carb intake over the stock injection system she runs damn well.
May need to get a bigger fuel pump to feed the beast but other than that and not having the secondarys tuned yet the drivetrain is completely finished.
heres some video of her running no moving shots yet but this was proof for my buddys in austin that it did actually run since no one had ever seen it since the transplant.

that last part where it sounds like it died down a little and i couldnt get it to rev was the fuel pump fuse falling out from under the dash ... not sure how that happend but it hasnt done it since.
sorry for the bad video quality someone messed with the settings on my camcorder so it was set up to record at night... and the crappy sound is mostly due to the crap turbo mufflers i had to put on it to keep my neighbors from complaining too much. Uncorked she sounds beautiful.

Very nice, now pull the cluster, and pop that annoying SES light out....
Let's see some vids of her letting loose now....
