With the 4 bbl carb make sure that the spark plugs are not gas fouled. I've had this happen before and the vehicle would not start.

Nice car
I'm doing the same conversion right now to a 1970 Z. Everything fits it well. Wiring it up is next.

Wow
You did a great job with that car

I bought this one for my 260z conversion

It's a factory replacement at $73. It's worked well on my car.

These 2 engines are great for making power. TPI is more of a torque engine and factory they ran out of wind around 4500-5k rpm. The last if the TPI engines where rated around 250hp and around 350 lb ft of torque. I love TPI but it is aging out and becoming harder to find parts for.
Depending on what year Lt-1 you found (Impala, caprice, camaro, corvette) you can range from 260-300 hp. It did not have the torque rating like the TPI, around 300 lb ft. But be careful, if you buy a Lt-1 from some caprices they can be 4.3ltr Lt-1 V8s. The Lt-1 with the hot cam and roller rockers will easily make 400hp. The camaros and corvettes have aluminum heads and the caprice and impalas have steel heads.
The Lt-1 is the cheaper way to build power v. the TPI.

This is a question I ask myself all the time. I've got 5 cars and in the back of my mind I know selling one would help do things to the others. But I just don't want to sell any of them.
