see title, I want to get the old school sounds of a carb'd v8 into a modern day muscle car (e.g. challenger).
Is this even possible?
Like the sounds in the video below

Maybe a more aggressive cam? Or If you really want to you could take the EFI off of the new engine.

any you recommend?
>take the EFI off of the new engine
how would that work? make it carb'd? even with the computer stuff & sensors?

Kind of, but the idle wouldn't waver like it does on that Charger. It would lope, but not drift apart and converge again like in the vid.
>take off the EFI
That guy is a total retard. There's no way you can just straight up carb a modern engine with all of the sensors involved. The O2's would be freaking the fuck out, the ICM / ECU would probably do it's best to kill the engine.
The only real way to get the sound is to get an older engine. And no, there's no good way to put an older engine like that in your new car and keep all of the amenities you have.
Other than the sound, carbureted engines are wholly less efficient and obsolete. EFI is far more efficient and can squeeze way more power out of the same engine than if it were carbed.
This is coming from a guy that has owned multiple carbed engines, it's just the truth.

I know you could take off the EFI from the old LS engines.

Literally just change the cam and get a tune. Downside is hot cams like that are garbage to daily, they really only like being run at race pace.

No, what you could do is buy an intake manifold with the mounting pattern for a carb, but then you have to rip out the ECU because you can't run stock knock sensors, ECM, etc. with a carb. You would need an aftermarket ignition module to run whatever features you wanted to keep, like computer-adjustable timing /timing curve, etc.
You can't just slap on a carburetor to a modern engine, start it up, and go.

Yeah that's considered all part of the carb swap. Removing EFI does suggest the removal of the ECU. And you can get standalone ignition systems that will run the spark, it's really not hard
Cam and a funky tune should do it
Cam + low rpm idle
like 650 rpm

Yeah, just get straight pipes.

Just hog all of the crap out of your cats. It's easy and free.
