No carburetor!

If you get anything in decent shape I wouldn't even freshen it up. Just do cam/springs/pushrods, heads if they're in the budget and let it fly.

Easy for you to say mister LS!! If you would just finish up the caddy motor then I'd be in a better place as far as a motor goes!!!

Curious why you want to go with a carb'd set up? I thought about it originally because I wanted an old school look, but I was able to accomplish the same look with a 4 barrel TB and keep the EFI setup.

x2 would not go carbed. Yes, it can be done and be good etc etc. EFI is still better, period.

I think you're on the right track if considering a iron 6.0 for a budget build, Rick. It's a great motor. I would however not discount the 5.3 if your budget is that tight and your power levels not very high. It, too, is a great motor capable of great power. You want go wrong with either. You'll just have to decide what your budget can support.
