I wanted to do fuel injection but for now went the easier route with carburetor. here is the edlebrok ls1 carbed intake.

hell yeah man that look nice. I'll be watching this build really close as you are doing exactly what I'd love to do for mine.

Cool little projects. I dig the choice of the 5.3, they are pretty tough motors. You might see somthing arond the 330-350 hp range with the cam you picked, exhause and properly tuned carb and intake.

So did you meet your goal of getting it in the water by the 20th? I'd love to see more of your build.

Your build got my attention because I just recently built one of these boats just to resale . It has a 454 with cam , intake , and carb . I tried a blackhawk on it but then switched to a bravo for the sale . Fun little boat , really easy to drive and turns on a dime . You will enjoy it when your done . Good luck with your build .[ATTACH=CONFIG]505051[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]505052[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]505053[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]505054[/ATTACH]

Man don't lose focus! You have a cool little boat that will haul a$$ when you get done. She is close too, so keep rocking. Shoot for a water test by mid/late Aug and you'll be running solid in time to get the some of October to enjoy her. Hell, down in VA you can probably run till mid November. The put her up for the winter and do interior/stereo and finishing stuff. Next spring rolls around and you'll be rocking!
