carburated 5.4
Has anyone ever built a 5.4 carburated?
Does anybody make the carburated intake for one of these?
I think that this engine is perfect for a light 4x4 with the long stroke and small displacement.

To me it would be easier just to transfer all of the essential electrics to the buggy, and clip the rest.

Edelbrock and MSD have a setup for the LS1 GM engine now that uses a stand alone ignition system and a carb. There is a lot less wiring involved and you wouldn't need the factory heavy wiring harness. They got over 500hp from a stock LS1 with the carb, intake, MSD set-up and a larger cam. Lots of power to be had. Plus you don't need the expensive high pressure, return style fuel system. A cheap electric pump and inline fuel filter in an older vehicle and you are good to go.

If I wanted a simple, inexpensive, carbureted V8 engine with plenty of power I would build a strong 351W and have my choice of any number of simple, inexpensive proven transmissions that would bolt directly to it. None of which would require a computer of any type. And there are a lot of intake manifolds to choose from for the 351 to match whatever RPM or torque curve you need.
If you want to spend a ton of money and get a headache trying to find specialized parts try to bolt a carburetor to an overcomplicated, overhead cam modular, and probably end up with less power than a well built 351W.
I don't see the point but good luck.
