Thanks Steve, I'm giving it some thought. I picked up 2 of the 5.3 motors for what I had paid for an LS2 that never materialized. I still had some change, but not enough to buy new EFI setup. The carb setup looked less expensive. Since my post earlier today. I have found an LS1 intake setup going for $150 - $400 on ebay also found a harness at $465 an ECU at $100 so it could be possible to do something for around $1,200 ~ $1,500 with a used intake. I will keep an eye out for the parts as I've not comitted anything to a carb. I have to look at the write up Tony was talking about.

I would also like to know why GM would put a Carb version of the LS2 out if there wasn't something to it.

I love the BOSSEFI approach, but again $2,700 for just the carb/FI setup. I love the look of the Victor Jr. intake on the LS motor.

Anyway I'll follow your build no matter which way you go with it. I'll be putting the first 5.3 in my 80 Camaro this summer and decide if the other will go in my 67. I'll start a post on the parts I come across for the 80 project and we'll see how it comes out.
