Hi guys ,

I am doing a swap of a lm7 into a 55 chevy truck . I am going to be running the edelbrock carbed intake ( p/n 7118 ) and a 650cfm carb . I am still on the fence about a cam and new springs .

My question is , I have gotten different responses to this , can I run this setup with a 4l60 trans? -- thats what was there when it was being run with the 350 that was previously in there that was carbed , so I can't see why this setup wouldn't work .

Just asking to be sure and to get opinions

thanks !

 

You can, but why throw away the fuel injection system for a slightly improved hole in the bottom of a bucket fuel system (carburetor), when you will need a ecm to control the 60e anyways?

And welcome to the site!!!!

We want pictures of your build!

 

I actual have an 4l60 not the 4l60e -- I don't think it will need the ecm . the old early 90's 350 that was org in the truck didn't have one and as far as I can tell from my tear down can find one for the trans either .

or am I completely off base on this ?

thanks for teh welcome ! I am also trying to figure what is the best cam /spring combo .. you know in case I can scrape up an extra grand for more power

here are current pics
