would i still be able to use my 4L60E?, if i go carb with single plane intake on my lt1 and a distributor in the back

 

Thats a hell of a change. What are you going to be doing with that motor?

I don't see why would couldn't.

 

This is getting confusing.... you have another thread talking about putting a carb on your buddy's 93 LT1, now you are talking about putting a carb on your car. Which is it? You need to clarify which year LT1 you are talking about, since what you can do with the stock PCM, after you delete the fuel injection and the Opti signals is possibly limited.

im think of also doing mine to , what would be best would i be able to use my tranny or would i have to go witha diffrent one? sorry for the confusion

 

The '93 would be a piece of cake, because it uses a 700R4 (4L60). The 700 isn't electronically controlled.
The 4L60E ('94-up) need TPS input, and RPM's to control shift points.
If you're swapping all this other stuff on a '94-up car, you might also want to consider a 700 swap.

The stock PCM needs RPM input - it gets the input from the Optispark distributor. If you go to a rear mounted distributor, you will not have any RPM input to the PCM, hence I don't see how the PCM could control the 4L60E shifting. You would also need to find a way to power the fuel pump, since the stock PCM will shut down the fuel system if it doesn't have the low res pulse from the Opti. But you probably wouldn't be trying to use the stock EFI high pressure fuel pump on a carb setup either. You will also need to find a way to drive the stock tach without the PCM having a signal.

You can retain the Opti, and use the stock PCM to fire the stock coil throug an HEI rear mounted distributor. There is a thread on "Advanced Tech" explaining how.

 

Seems like way too much work for the actual gain. You might as well just put a 1st gen block in there.
