Yes I am going carbed! Just ordered $2800 worth of parts, probably going to need more lol. But im going to yank all the factory efi and harness and put a universal wiring kit in. But anyways after some reading and searching I should be about 400 to the crank with the parts chosen, leaving the bottom end alone. Also got a tci trans controler :D but ill throw up some pics of the truck and parts list. Should be starting this next week sometime.

Well f me! I cant upload files from my phone. So the truck is a 99 gmc c2500 crew cab short box. Stock as stock can get! Lol gonna get the motor done then gonna bag da *****! Lol the reason this conversion is being done is, I lost some teeth im my timing chain gears and it pissed me off so I decied to have some fun since I had to pull the top of the motor apart anyways.. but if ya have any questions on parts I ordered chime in. My biggest concern right now is how to turn my stock fuel pump/pickup into just a pickup for a externally mounter fuel pump. If anybody knows of a easy way of doing this please please let me know.

Ill try to gwt pics up soon.

There are none. What I did was rig up rubber fuel line to the pickup

Heres most of the parts I have acquired, im hoping the cam I ordered will make me happy, lol theres a few things I still need to get, like efans and gauges. Im going to be running full length headers that are desigend for 73 to 87 gm trucks ( hopping they fit, may have to cut and weld some ) these will be attached to 3inch pipe into porter hot rod mufflers. With this conversion im re wiring the entire truck! With a ez wire 18 circuit kit. The only computer will be the ez tcu untill pennies are saved for a t56. Or a heavy duty 6 speed (so I can tow, not sure if a t56 will handle towing).

Tomorrow I will be starting the disassembly, sucks not having a garage till this weekend. But as soon as I get going on it I will post up picks and any little tifld bits on little quarks or oddities to maybe help future tinkeres.
