1970 c20 350 vs Toyota I force 5.7

[GMC Canuck]

The LS swap of the import world.

that would make the classic car guys cringe

part of me wants to do it just for that reason, something different.

Back to the OP, I know exactly what you're talking about. My DD is a tundra, after driving it I keep asking myself why can't my GMC run like this. They have the similar amount of HP (the GMC should be a bit more) but the tundra I touch the key and smash the skinny pedal and it just jumps, no bog, no hesistation, no stumble, no waiting to warm up. Maybe I'm just incompetent at tuning a carburetor but I love fuel injection.
