Well, morning anyway... I'll know if it was good once 12:00 rolls around.
Anyway, what brings me here is a 1985 Chevy C-10 I converted to fuel injection a few years back. When I bought the truck it had a GM Performance Parts 350HO in it that used a Holley carburetor. The engine ran great, but at the time it was my daily driver and I wanted better manners for cold operation and was interested in swapping in a 4L60E.
Ultimately I built a hodge-podge setup in which I stuck a TPI intake on the Vortec heads using an aftermarket lower manifold and used a 96-97 LT1 PCM to control it all so I could use OBDII logging tools and ultimately integrate the 4L60E at a later time. That said, hindsight has told me that I either should have just used a OBDI PCM or gone with a 0411... would have been easier in the long run and had better documentation!
As of this year I got the 4L60E installed and the whole setup has been working pretty damn well with the driveability of the truck being greatly improved; mileage isn't what I was hoping for, but I think that's because the cam won't play well with the TPI intake... there's always something.
