sell it and buy a self propelled lawnmower

Ok, On a serious note...I have seen people get ls swaps in those gens...and were pretty happy with them. If I was you, I would get something Mpfi and / or sell your car and get an 88-91. Those seem to be better candidates

Cut an air cleaner lid. Make it so its like an open air filter. I dunno if it does anything for performance but it sounds cool if you really flog on it
