LT1 6 speeds are great man, you will love it. Otherwise, i hate the edelbrock carbs like the one in your pic, Holley is the way i roll.

Nice ride.

Ya i agree on the edelbrock. It was on the motor when I picked it up. It likes to run a little rich on startup but one it warms up she cruises out nice. I only tach 2200 rpms in 5th gear at 70 mph. I also bought a spectre air intake system for it just waiting on it to show up.
