Love this series. I have a 1986 Parisienne Wagon and have been looking to do something similar. If the 307 is in good shape - may just go with a sniper efi kit until the engine's end of days...
Cool! another Parisienne Wagon project! Yah, we looked at a bunch of engine options (350 from 1969 that needed rebuilding, a 350 create engine, a LS create engine, buying a Corvette, GTO, Etc. with the LS and a 6speed... just for the engine and trans, using the engine out of my perfectly functioning 2004 Suburban with a 6L LS ). We had a goal of 400 plus HP and converting to a manual transmission and to get there the cost was always a lot. So we chose the LS / 6speed combo salvage yard route thinking it would save us a little time and a little money. I still think it was the right choice but wondered sometimes when we're struggling with ECM wiring, and engine fitment. I think we are over the humps with those things now. We 're still working on it... but slowed down the last few months. I guess I should put a short video together shown where we are at and what's left. Thanks for watching and happy you enjoy it.
