Who said it has to be carb'ed?

never said it had to be, but going EFI just adds to the degree of difficulty if one does not know what they are doing.

Although, I forget who it was, but somebody just came out with a Ford based EFI conversion for the Pontiac motors...

Also not top secret but very few will believe it'll work until they see it. They have really dropped off in popularity since Wissota dropped 360 sprints, now everyone runs 410's. This combo is is a lot of machining and other labors, but worth it. I'm done hijacking your thread now Ruthless ( and Bandit, sort of).

You would have to be an absolute dicktard to put a chebby shitbox motor into a Pontiac

I never specified chevy or BPO 😄 , but chevy would be cheaper and parts more available to get him on the road again sooner rather than later. You are right though with a car like that, the swap would bring tears to some. :icon_rr:
