Default 1987 Avanti 22 LS swap

Here is my buddies 1987 Avanti 22 that we just got done swapping over to LS power from a 383sbc. It is carbureted running the MSD 6010 ignition box. Mild cam. Will upload video soon.

Awesome! I previously kicked around doing this swap at one point to my 22. Any issues that you ran across? What car/truck did the engine come out of? How's it run.....any faster since it's less weight? I'm guessing you went with Lightning headers but any issues with motor mounts or bolting it up to a Bravo 1?

Wonder if it has a Bravo 1. My 88 has one of the first drives, actually came with an Alpha coupler on the 330hp 454.
Boat looks good.
