You could modify your intake which is what most people do.. They do say there is an 87+ version, but its prolly more expencive.

You know, for 2k for a long block you might wanna consider building something up yourself.

the guys at http://www.desertperformance.com/engines.htm are a lot of help so if you guys plan on a crate engine these guys will help you. I am curently working out a 350 with vortec heads, he gave me some info on intakes from edlebrock but i have not heard about these tbi vortec intake manifolds from edlebrock for the TBI. Have you guys heard of these intakes?
