Re: Ol' Blue
I guess fuel mileage would be the biggest drawback of a carbed LS ? but I would think the power would still be there? Yes?
I tip my hat to you, as the electronics of those motors scare the hell out of me. I have heard people say, "just tune it on your laptop" ya right? not for me. Good Luck with it, and thanks for sharing (I wish I had the knowledge)

Re: Ol' Blue
Tempest, thanks again.
I will try to document and post up my progress and include a PIA factor for anyone who would like to know how bad I find the process.

Re: Ol' Blue
HCB3200 helped identify the engine as a LMG. So, as Forest would say, "one less thing".
I hope to get it off to the machine shop later this week.

Re: Ol' Blue
Well haven't been too busy, life has been in the way. However, I have gotten some things done.
IMG_1748 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr IMG_1749 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr IMG_1750 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr IMG_1761 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Engine is going to the machine shop tomorrow. I will ask them when it will be done when I drop it off, but I'm hoping it's soon. I can't see much cross hatching in the cylinders, but it really looks clean other than that. The shop will hopefully only hone the cylinders, replace the cam bearings, check the pistons, install new rings, and check the crank. If that is all they have to do it may be pretty quick. So I need to get moving on this thing. IMG_1759 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Yes, the engine will be Chevy orange. The frame and other "hidden" parts will be a matt black, from MasterCoat.
