Level 1 build thread....

Very interested to see how all this goes

What did it start out as? Looks like a 84'? GN interior for the most part but maroon floors. The front seats look pretty boring, good call not using them.

I might be interested in the rear seats as cores, they have a different style/contour than other g-body rear seats.

Carb on an LS, huh?

Yep I’ve swapped a couple cars in the past and always did efi. I figured I’d try this out seeing as it came from the Previous owner this way. Definitely learning as I go.

IMO if you are going to run a carb I would run your feed line to a regulator that is in front of the carb and then flip your fuel line around, that way you are not fighting G force to get it in the carb and then you can also run higher pressure to the regulator.

Makes sense
I may try that once I get it on the road

It's an automatic; what's the shifter going to help?

This thread should be called "Level A.D.D. Build". 😛

I prefer a shifter that will take a reverse plate when using a reverse MVB 🤔

Man are those rad hoses are tiny, obviously the LS are easy to cool. Sucks that so much leaks on this car, I imagine the floor is toast. Obviously they did the LS swap as cheaply as possible, big Holley carb and factory exhaust manifolds. I assume a reverse manual TH350?

I agree hoses seem small. Cooling seems fine so far.

Floor does have some spots but not horrible.

Yes definitely some budget minded mods involved. However I think efi would have been the same price seeing that the intake manifold and ICM retail for around $700.

Could have surely just did a harness and tune.

Yes trans is a ATI th350 with RMVB

Rear seats are yours for cheap. Lmk

Car is a Maroon 84 Regal T type.

Front seats will be used for now. However I plan on changing them out ASAP

Hey! You came back! I was just giving you crap. Just my opinion, but I don't see the point in a carbed LS or mvb on a street car, unless....... a blow through is in order.
Others will confirm that I'm not a big fan of the LS swap.

Others will confirm that I'm not a big fan of the swap, especially in YET ANOTHER F-ING CUTLASS!!!! DAMMIT, MAN!

Except that it is a Regal.

My bad; had him confused with the other new guy. I'll rescind, but you quoted me..

That's OK, I have have had my Monte called a GN more times than it's been called a Monte.
