Engine and drivetrain options
Which would you do and why? The idea of fuel injection and an overdrive transmission really appeals to me on my 79 C30 w/ 454 and Th400. From a price perspective, leaving it stock would be cheapest (free), followed by an ls swap, then ls swap with tranny, and then aftermarket would be most expensive in my books.
Leave it be. (easy and free) Aftermarket efi and retain th400 (not much work to do, somewhat expensive) Keep it carbed but install an overdrive tranny (not very expensive, more modifcation than above) Aftermarket efi AND overdrive tranny (bit more work and starting to get quite spendy) Ls based engine with overdrive tranny (most amount of work, can be done for same price or less than just aftermarket efi) Ls based engine with th400. (good deal of work, can be done for less than aftermarket efi.
