I'm not sure, but my buddy would be interested in your MAF wiring and if you are swapping the computer, that too. If you want to sell it.

you will need to change out the fuel pump, its better to get a carbed fuel tank and mount a holley pump back by the tank, you wil have to get an intake, carb, msd dizzy/box..

i just watched an episode of two guys garage(i think that what it was) and they did a thing where they took a efi ls1 and converted it to a carb set up. they dynoed the thing and just by the conversion it upd the hp by like 50-60 then with a bit more tuning they had it up over 100 hp... kinda cool actually!

Use the stock fuel pumps and lines just have to run a bypass regulator around 6 psi. you can find a fitting that will screw in to the regulator then flare the factory lines keep the coolant temp wire and oil pressure wire you can trace them clear to the main harness connector and the wiring for the alternator and can the rest. Run a msd box or mallory

You can throw the MDS Distributor over a hill the day you open the package up. Right along with the box. Everybody should know what MSD stands for by now..
