Welcome to the site. Read these articles on using a carb setup.

The 700R4 bolts right up. You do have to bolt on a correct flexplate.

Take plenty of pictures!! I would like to see the conversion and carb setup. I've thought of using an LS carb motor on a future project.

Are you upgrading the cam? You can easily gain power by swapping cams. The stock cam will make a nice daily driver.
