Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

If I had a good running engine, trans, harness ecu etc. It would have been a different story. all I had was the engine, harness, no ecu and or trans. So it woulda been a mix match pairing it all up. 2. I wanted to try the carb set up because I felt I could get it running faster and have less wires to deal with. Price in the long run might be more expensive for me bc I want the electric trans with carb. 3. if you look at dyno pulls for carbs and intakes etc there is a real good article in hotrod mag. results are very similar in performance. I also still just like the idea of having some type of mechanical old school feel to the truck. Though its not my truck, if the guy won't be able to deal with the carb, then we'll go to EFI. I still like the idea of being able to control some features with the trans with a handheld cpu. Unless I can dig up somewhere where a stock ecu and harness was modified just to run the trans and can be done for considerably less than TCI unit, I'm open to it. I will still need a TPS for the carb, that is 130 bucks or so.
