hey man thanks alot that info really helped i think i can pull that stuff off but if i did away with the efi on the lt1 and just ran intake and carb would that do away with having to use the computer? also im not really worried about not getting my money back this will be just a fun project for me that i will probably keep for a while. plus for the $50 i payed for the malibu body its kind of hard to loose too much money. i have to say i havent bought an ltl donar car i just know of one i can get that will suit my needs. i was thinking it would probably be much cheaper and easier to run a 350 and t-5 out of a mid 80's camaro. then i wouldnt have to do the clutch thing thats what im worried about the most is the clutch. but those arent near as fast as an lt1
