Why does no one like / use the L99 4.3L engines from the early bubble caprices? Theres been one for sale for a long time by me and its overpriced but it does have me curious. Does the L99 not bolt up to the 200R4? What trans does it use?
I am curious about the engine because I would think in a time like this when gas is threatening to hit $5 a gallon people would be more interested in fuel economy than performance. I'm also curious to know if any of you have made a carbeurated L99 and how it went. I know swapping this engine is slightly more costly b/c either you have to buy the computer or circumnavigate it entirely w/ a different setup, but I would think the higher fuel economy it returns would be appealing to somebody in times like this
