440hp Carbureted ''LS-2'' Engine ???
Carbed "LS-2"
So what do you think about this engine? What performance or gas mileage advantages would it have over a traditional small block chevy w/ simlilar power?

Google any conversion page (c.i. > liters) and you'll see.

Take your cubic inches and multiply it by .0163 to get your liters and then your liters divided by .0163 to get your cubic inches. Probably telling most of you all something you already know but for someone wanting to know... there is the conversion.

MPG will be lower.. much lower than with a well tuned FI car..
You will always make more power with FI as well.. its just a little more expensive sometimes..

. A properly tuned carb vs. a properly tune EFI motor will make very closer power.
