I've actually been thinking about running that carbed intake, but mount a throttle body on the top of it or something like that. That thing is suppose to be KILLEr up top.

I'm debating on painting the frame rails. The bed will definantly come off for some deep cleaning and gutting everything else out to make room for the 4 link. The bed will be tubed somewhat, and hold a cell and battery. No bottles at this time though. I have thought about a fat turbo in front of that carbed intake though. Either way ... I plan on it being scary fast and done right.

You would have to have a stand alone PCM. I knwo that much. I guess in more detail, you do have to have the ls1 PCM and the correct wiring harness for the PCM model (f, y, or truck).

Here are some pics I just went and took of it. It's no where NEAR done. I still need a motor and trans. It's gonna be a slow going project cause I have a lot on my plate right now and it's not a priority. I am getting some stuff Monday for test fitting though.

I cant believe I missed this one before. I have a 93 with a carbed 350. I am going to do a centrifugal blown 406 when I am done with the Silverado. I will probably do a 9", and 350 with a brake. I have had mine for 5 years now, it was a daily driver for a while, now it rarely gets driven so I am going to make it more serious. Hard for me to get the time though with 2 kids and now 3 jobs.
Keep us updated.
My S10
I hope to get a paint job on mine this year.
