Scott,
that makes perfect sense. The 4.3 Roadmaster V8 is a port injected hi-pressure (37-39psi) fuel system engine with decent torque numbers. Most TBI 4.3 V6 fuel systems were 11-12 PSI. Both engines used a return line to the tank. Since the V8 from the Roadmaster is a smallblock Chev, Barnabus could simply use a carb and intake from another earlier smallblock, along with the non-computer distributor, and have a complete old school setup, free of computer hardware. The newer blocks don't have provisions for a mechanical fuel pump, so an in-line low-ppressure electric pump would be needed. Also, the 1994 computer-controlled overdrive trans would not be good here, but a TH350 would be great. MV
