Why would you go to a carb? Your eliminating the advantages to the vortec engine. Everything in that engine is designed for fuel injection. Here's a site that has a wiring harness that will allow you to run that engine just as it was designed. With injection it will last longer, run better, get better gas mileage. JMO
