Easily carb LS swap any car! I'm back again! Another quick video, but this time about how to put a carburetor on your LS engine. Here is a list of part, along with a brief explanation of why I used them. Everything was purchased at summit racing, no sponsored by them, just saying. ls swapped cars are super fun, highly recommended. Chasis is a 1975 Dodge d100 for my carbed ls swap project. Enjoy!

Edelbrock 600 Carburetor- Its a solid carb for stock and mild engines. Picked it up on craigslist for cheap. Even brand new, they inexpensive.

Holley 600 Carburetor Vacuum Secondary- More of a performance carb, easily tunable for when you add a cam and open exhaust.

Taylor 45 Degree Wires to clear Headers
amzn.to/2MhHpy2
MSD 6014- Can read both types of reluctor wheels, also the newest version of the LS boxes(Less Bugs) (Includes: MSD Box, Harness, Tuning software)
amzn.to/2U0yKV4
Holley HLY-300-130 Dual Plane Intake Manifold- Went with the dual plane for more TQ at low RPMS, the Edelbrock one looks almost the same, but I wanted mine to say Holley lol.
Cathedral Port: amzn.to/2zER3bt
Aeromotive AEI-13301 Bypass Fuel Pressure Regulator- The cheaper ones tend to creep up and that's bad for Holley carbs(which I plan to switch to.)

I think people are stumped as to why you would want to run a carb. Let me help them out. Simplicity. No computer and new wireing harness or sensors. No new gas pedal, no new transmission, drive shaft and shift leakage to fab. No new fuel tank. Much better engine in a old school vehicle.

I've had several people run a few different types of pumps and the cool thing about a carb is that they all work well. On a return style regulated system, your fuel pressure is set dead nuts and youll never have to worry about over fueling your carb.

@blakeholder7645 2 года назад
@@dyer2cycle fuel injection is not that complicated. With an LS carb swap, you're going to need all of that anyway other than injectors. If you had a pulled LS engine, you could get an Fi Tech standalone ECU and wiring harness. Connect harness to the original fuel injectors. Plug it into the coil packs. Plug into other basic sensors like cam sensor, crank sensor and temp sensor (already in engine). Literally all of that is just plug and play, it's not hard Only real thing you'd need to do is have one O2 sensor in the exhaust pipe (so the computer can trim fuel automatically) and run a fuel injection rated fuel pump (you'll have an electric pump for the carburetor, regardless) I've been wanting to carburetor swap an LS for a while, but every time it comes to it, fuel injection always comes out on top.

@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 3 года назад
You could always run a 2bbl adapter on the single plane and it would work exactly the same. Same could be said for any TBI unit but I dont think I would replace factory EFI for diy tbi imo.
@dermharse9614
@dermharse9614 3 года назад
@@NightWrencher My understanding is that single planes are really lacking in the low rpm range and vacuum because of the large plenum volume, with the TBI it doesn't care on vacuum like the venturi's on the carb does. In theory its shouldn't effect low end very much and still have good vacuum, mid and high range performance. User "Fast355" used that Victor Jr. 2bbl with a TBI had good results but then again it a vortec headed SBC.
@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 3 года назад
I don't think you would pick up the power on the bottom. Richard Holdener did an intake test with both carb and EFI and found that even with a TBI unit like the fast, sniper, xfi, etc, power numbers and curve were exactly the same. So it was concluded that the intake design dictated the power curve, not the fuel supply system.

Can you explain the best way to hook up vacume line from intake to valve covers?
@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 3 года назад
For the stock 5.3 PCV valve on the driverside, you can cut off the stock hard line and install a 3/8 rubber line and plug that into the base of the carb. For the fitting on the passenger side just hook up a line and let it dangle off the side or hook up a little air filter on it.

What about the 3/8 line out of the intake? I have a holly single plain. To the vavume canister? This is in a 87 cutlass supreme.
@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 3 года назад
Any port below the throttle blades should work just fine. You can run it on an intake port or into the base of the carb. Youll plug in 1 for the PCV and another one for your vacuum brakes. Position doesnt matter but make sure its a direct connection for it to work right unless you have a really loopy cam that doesnt make vacuum.

@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 3 года назад
@@mtrcyclmhm ive heard that the SS2 cam gives pretty good vacuum but in case it doesnt, you're going to need to add a vacuum pump for your brake booster or switch to hydroboost brakes. if youre worried about the PCV system not having anout vacuum, just hook it up direct and dont worry about it. If youre racing the engine, youre gonna want to run an oil catch can inbetween the PCV valve and the vacuum port on the intake/carb or else youll suck oil fumes that can cause detonation

@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 4 года назад
I know my STOCK 5.3 did NOT like anything smaller than a 650 holley. One thing I learned while trying to tune my smaller carbs was that the CFM rating should be comparable to Throttle body size on a fuel injected car and the jets were like the injectors. Mild 5.3s and 6.0s run at least a 750 or 800. For your app I wouldnt go smaller than an 850 double pumper. If your afrs run too rich under load in the top end you might need to go bigger. I hope this helps!

@@NightWrencher I figured it would take some tuning with at least exhaust gas machine. I just installed a engine in a 79 Scout, California emissions with an 1400 Edelbrock on it. Local machine shop built it for the owner and he couldn’t get anyone to install it. Shop that removed sold and the new owner wouldn’t reinstall it. So being a nice guy I said I’d install it. What a mistake. Apparently the rings never seated and it went through 3 quarts of oil in 900 miles and destroyed the cat. Don’t know if it’s my fault or not, shop is blaming me for not rebuilding the carb and claiming the carb over fueled it and washed the cylinder walls. I’m pulling it back out and having the shop go back through it and then someone else can put it back in. Don’t need these headaches.
@NightWrencher
@NightWrencher 2 года назад
I highly doubt its your fault. The amount of fuel it would take to completely wash out the cylinders would be sp much, the engine would be smoking like a crazy. Considering you were using an edlebrock, that leads me to believe that the rings had too much gap or the walls were machined too far out. Check the plugs if you still have them, they would have to be so black and the engine would be running like garbage. AFR gauges are like $180 but they make tunning a breeze. You can get the full tune done in an afternoon if you have all the parts available. If you do tune the next engine, keep the cat off until its ready.

@@NightWrencher AFR gauges, I’ll have to look those up. I’m trying to do the right thing for the guy because he’s been screwed by so many shops over this scout. I don’t think the carb is the problem either but most engine builders warranties aren’t worth the paper there written on and they’ll put blame on everyone but them. The owner told me after the the scout had arrived the first time that he had just gotten it smog tested and it passed. I was surprised they passed it in this state with that carburetor. That’s one reason I didn’t suspect any problem with the carburetor, plus it started right up and ran great. When it stopped running on him he had it towed and the mechanic said it was almost three quarts low on oil. He filled it up but when it shows up at my place it’s almost a quart and a half over filled. Can of worms and no one is honest with the guy.

Would it be possible to run my factory computer, Throttle Body, and injectors for the swap. If what I’ve researched is correct. I can use an adapter to run the throttle body on the carb intake.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the throttle body and the injectors are the same between the 4.3, 5.0, and 5.7 TBI engines. So they should provide enough fuel, but I’ve been told that the fuel pump is borderline inadequate. Figure I would up it to a higher pressure vortec pump.
@NightWrencher

Thats a pretty neat idea, but here are some issues that you will run against. The 4.8/5.3 dont have distributors, so you would still need to find a way to fire off the coils. You could use the stock computer to run the injectors and tbi unit, but you still have the problem of running a v6 computer on a v8 without the correct sensors as triggers for the injectors. Honestly its better to get yourself a 6014 if youre going to go carb. Engine runs super smooth and has pleanty of powet eveb with the tiny carb I have on it. If not, full EFI is just as good! Good luck!
