Re: BBC K5's

Man, I know in the end an aftermarket EFI will be worth every penny, since even installing a late model motor with EFI is spendy, but my pockets keep telling me a carb is OK and about $2-3k cheaper. If I wheeled in my Blazer and could justify it that way EFI would already be on it!! Burt that thing made my blood rush to a particular part of my anat!! Man, that is sweet and I am sure you get great perf out of it as well as reliability, mind if I ask a guess on MPG?? I know efficiency and BBC don't go together in theory, but EFI helps. I was looking at trying to upgrade and use a factory Vortec 454 intake and injector set up (I have one complete already!) but for the hassle and amount of settling on ho hum OE parts because of the design, availability, etc I'd have to do instead of getting what I want, I think a set up like Burt's is the only way to go!!
