They also make a vortec base for a Camaro tpi manifold. You could run that an probably come out cheaper maybe? I got my tpi setup for $100.

Putting it in the 98 has crossed my mind but it's going in the 78 an I'm going to run it with a 411 an vortec sensors/wiring...

I was looking into that too. I guess whatever is the best deal at the time I start doing it. A new Weiand Stealth Ram is $380, and I think it can use LT1 fuel rails and throttle body (with a spacer to clear the blades). I'd go with LS1 injectors probably.

Wait a minute...she did get HALF of it...hmmmm.

A 4/7 drop on 15" SS wheels. 295/50's. Big sway bars. Good shocks. No roof rack. Fr. & Rr. bucket seats.

Mine didn't, luckily we were at least civil about the split.

I'm with your line of thinking here. Definitely removing the center console up front (lid is broken and rear cupholders missing) and covering with a tasteful floor mat for now (until I replace the carpet). Keeping the bench in the back, I do have a kiddo and he loves the middle seat. Roof rack is definitely going. I'm thinking about finding some Tahoe Limited wheels or something similar to yours, except in 15s. I like SSs, and will probably go with them for a little while (I have a set), but the 7" width kind of kills sidewalls on wide tires. I do have a G80 with 3.73s from a PPV Tahoe as well....

Ya I'm thinking I'm going to go with a set of aftermarket fuel rails on mine an a Corvette filter so the return run isn't so long. I think I'll be ok with the stock tpi injectors since my engine isn't to crazy. Plus at 60 psi they will flow 22 lbs instead of 19 :)

On my black truck. those are Boss 338's.
If the truck has 3.42's now, the 3.73's will really wake it up!
You have a set of the Impala SS's? Don't tell Dean! He IS in Texas, too!
I've been keeping my eyes open for a set of those around here for years. Most are trash. Best ones I found were a set of 3! And she wanted $600.00!
Looks like a grey interior. You could do lots to that interior with the grey to really make it pop! Good neutral color to start with.

Hmmm, I'll definitely keep it in mind, There's a guy here asking $1000 for a set with new tires, I might be able to talk him down a little...

It does have the 3.42 (at least, the RPO is GU6, assuming it's the original rear). SS454 rims is what I've got. I agree on the Impala SSs, I'd go with those if I could find a good set, I always find them when I have no money. There was a guy in DeSoto a few months ago who had a full set of CHROME ones for $150 because he couldn't take them with him when he moved, and of course I was flat broke. Interior is tan, Reds is grey.

I'm not going to go insane on the 350, I'm going to make the 454 the toy and the Yukon the daily, so I still need it to be decently efficient. I'm thinking upgrade intake (whatever route I take on that one), 24lb injectors at the most, have heads worked, LT4 hotcam or ZZ383, headers, and full 2.5" dual exhaust.
