Throttle Body to Carb Swap

Edited: 11/23/2009 1:29:45 AM by 1kurupt92

Well i decided to swap out my manifold and throttle body to a high-rise manifold and a holley 4-barrel DP




















I was seeing if anybody here has done this and has any ideas or suggestions?
I have a 92 chevy single cab. 


5.7 


I ordered;


Street/strip Comp Cam "Magnum Hydraulic Cam and Lifters" (Lift .501/.501)
Pete Jackson Noisy Gear Drive- Dual idler
High Flow Electric Fuel Pump
Super 44 series Flowmasters




What I have a question on is about all my wiring on the top end? Do i just cut everything or cap everything off? and what about the computer bs, can I just un-clip everything as if it wasn't there in the first place? Thanks!

you can unplug everything but you will probably throw your check engine light on because of the o2 and egr.  you can buy a dumby o2 sensor that won't turn on the light.

Did it on my truck.  In addition to the carb and intake, you will need an HEI style vaccum advance style distributor, a fuel pressure regulator to knock the fuel psi down if you are using the stock pump, and one more thing.  If you have the 700R4 trans you will need a torque convertor lock-up harness. Your ECM controls the lock up for the torque convertor.  http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-376600/ This is the one I purchased from Summitt racing.  No other modifications are needed. May want to leave the ECM however. Some models route some the instrument signals through it.  hope this helps. PM me if you have any other questions.

all sounds good to me, just not a big fan of gear drives, are you going to be driving it alot or is it gunna be a trailer queen ?
