Carbed LS376/515 HP

[paulk68]

Hey Guys, I am considering this motor for my 1968 camaro. Trying to see if anyone has run this and what there thoughts are. Also what is involved in swapping this into a 68 camaro? From what i have been reading adding the FI adds some extra steps but what about the carbed version. Thank you

Super simple swap - and all parts are readily available.... You'll have to add an electric fuel pump... LS motors don't have fuel pumps. And if you want to run coil on plug then you need a controller.... Edelbrock has a complete kit for you already set up.

You'd LOVE the carbed version of this motor.... although it's really built to be blown... and is a bit low on the compression side of things - it would work perfectly with todays crappy pump gas.

When we were deciding and ultimately ordered the LSX 376 for the '62 Impala --- I wanted the LSX 454 --- but the compression on the 376 is 9.0 vs the 11.0 of the 454 ---- and even GM Performance "advertises" the 376 as being built for supercharged or turbo'd.

Mine had a TVS 2300 blower added to it...


I have the 480hp LS3 in my '33 Ford being built at Brizio's.


Plenty of motor for a little '33 highboy!
