Looks like I have heeded the warnings and some EPA advice pretty much screwed the 454 plan sideways!!! But I'm no looking into a new Gen 3 Ls1 engine from a commo? easy epa and parts plus some development in the future. Maybe a blower? Should propel the wagon down the quarter in some good times while remaining drivable on the street. Do I hear a blown efi 383ci stroker? Plus it would still look different under the bonnet as apposed to a carby 350. Any thoughts.

Well, again, if you got the $$$ its a good way to go.


Not the most common conversion.


Can think of a few hassles that may occur.


Extractors - probably have to be custom made.
Wiring - can be done, but will be a mission and pricey.

Sorry, but i dont know much at all about the GEN111 computer setup etc. I would assume that the engine CPU controls the speedo etc.
Keep in mind that street registered and streetability are two diff things.
You are looking at a $30k plus convers

yeah looked at blower prices...bugger that!
