Help me out please
I am looking at re building or upgrading my cross fire injection system. I am not very corvette smart, sadly.
I was wonderig if anyone had any suggestions or good web sites to purchase these kits from.
Ive looked some and since Im not really sure what to get its a little confusing.
I have a 1984 corvette all stock with 76,000 miles on it. Id like more power, smoother running and im sure being as old as it is, she could use a rebuild.
Thanks.

As a newer member, you may not be aware that this is discussed very often. After years and years of archiving data, many do not wish to answer the same questions over and over.
I have not done the swap, so I cannot offer 1st hand advice.
I would recommend using the search feature to look back at all of the carb swaps done in a c4.
Good luck.

Here is my issue, I have a stock 1984 corvette with the L89, Im looking to put in a crate motor most likely a 350 with a carb/air cleaner. I need to know if anyone has done that and what I need to look out for.
Do I need to change any of my cooling components?
is there any hood clearance issues?
whats a good motor to use?
What extra will I have to purchase with the motor?
Thanks

^I agree. Run the wee out of it.
If you're bent on the crate motor to replace a low, 76k mile motor, you need to either port the stock intake, or try to buy the Renegade, if you can get one.
