[QUOTE=Paladin;333774]as the cost and complexity of fuel injection continues to drop, why have a carb?? In fact, why have an iron block old school 350? You chevy guys can get an LS1/2/3 so reasonably, any new project would be crazy not to go that route.
I find your comment interesting. While it makes sense to have a comment on this site about full injection and LS1's, it seems completely disconnected from other sections of this hobby, hot rods/drag racers and probably others I am forgetting. I have several friends in these 'sections' of the hobby that would never mess with fuel injection. My hot rodding buddies love carbs, love the look and the simplicity of them. My drag racing buddies can tune them with a screw driver and plastic box of small parts in about 2 minutes. I have done some work at the Jeg's distribution center and the number 1 selling motor? The $1500 GM iron block 350 designed to replace any small block used from 73-85! You can buy it plain (w/o intake) or 2 other variations, both with carb set ups!
