Based on the tight EGT spread between cylinders...perhaps the most reliable route for a lil street engine that makes good power...go EFI. Yes more maximum power using a Carb; however, the wide spread of EGT suggests less long term reliability. Pretty interesting stuff. I considered going carb when I built my 6.1...but wanted to make good long term power. I've now put nearly 50,000 miles on this engine in 5 years. Stock gen 4 bottom end, 30 over flat tops, split profile BTR .593/.631"lift cam ...Trickflow 225X heads that flow 348 cfm at .600 92mm throttle body , 40lb injectors and 1 7/8" long tube headers. Black x racing built me a stout 4l60E with 3600 rpm stall converter , and 3:73 rear gear. Pretty tame compared to what the boys run, but runs strong...smacked lotsa asses with it...often get well into the 20s for mpg, and all I've ever done to it is Uncle Buckos favorite thing...maintenance.

I 100% agree with you, the spacer with a single plane would work quite nicely on that engine. what a lot of people don't understand is whether it's a small block, big block, ls, ford, or even dodge. you have to remember that they are just basically big air pumps. With that it's hard to knock on a stock engine with a cam making over 400. got to love that flow from those ls heads.

You would time them like the combustion chamber efficiency dictates thru every standard practice to find optimal timing for a given cylinder head design and induction package.... You go tossing sbc timing at SOME ls designs especially higher compression ones on stock pistons and have a bucket close... In his example what showed little gain at 33 via EFI needed 36 to replicate with the increased droplet size ( there are other factors involved too ), just take an LS engine that has knock past 24 degrees and toss 36-37 locked out in it at peak torque LOL bring a broom....

MY FAVORITE GARAGE CHANNEL ! 😁👍🏼 Bill I have a 5.3L LS aka: 327 Ci and I love it. Chevy made their small blocks last a lot longer and get 3-4X more miles outta them before a rebuild after they came up with the LS. I’m a old school guy from the 60’s 70’s & 80’s But Chevy took their engines to the next level with the LS as far as ENDURANCE & LONGEVITY goes. I was also hesitant to give the LS a try but once I did I really like the LS 5.3L & the 5.7L small Block LS’s they’re great engines.

Now stock block isn't gonna hold the power the skirted crank LS will hell no...but endurance shouldn't be an issue with proper fueling and cooling...

I am happy with the efi on my road cars, start ok, drive ok and reasonably economical. But power? No.

Drive ability... instant tuning corrections for changes in conditions... fuel economy... engine longevity... the reason manufacturers have gone away from carbureation isn't due to lack of skill or user ability.... it's just simply hands down better. I have a carbureated hot rod and a fuel injected hot rod, and I love them both. Tinkering on both is a lot of fun.

GOOD JOB, most people do not know max Hp, Carb vs Fi is very similar but for the record where Fi shines a carb is great at low and high-speed mid-range as you know can be a compromise, then tuneability for individual cylinders, Fi gives you that ability to move your powerband around much easier and for those looking for milage and ease of tuning the computer is just hard to beat, the time it takes and not getting your hands dirty. Now I am a carb guy ran them for years in off road racing no floats, check valves, #4 line on the float bowls, full flow system, regulator on the return line and it works much like fuel injection it will not stumble in bumps or hard braking but its is touchy to set up. I guess it is like kids that can’t drive a manual, LOL Just a thought from another OG.

Love the video so much information in it for people that like ls engines that want to do a carb swap on one. Uncle bob is like a kid in a candy store when the old man says he has a e85 carb let’s do it uncle bob likes playing with his engine Dino and seem like he is doing better with his health to as well

The charge cooling from the carburetter and the fuel entering up at the top of the intake manifold will always give you more power than it entering down at the head

Not sure if its been looked into or not, but I believe the 706 heads had issues with cracking. Specifically the castech castings of the heads. Might be worth looking into!

The carbed 5.3 I did with the Msd 6014 I ran at 40 degrees of timing with a 650 quick fuel ran great
