probably another anoying intake ?
I currantly have a tbi, but i have a tpi set up subtract a high flow fuel pump, afpr, injectors, tpi computor, or wiring harness. After reading about the efi to carb swap and geting prices of the parts i'd need to do a tpi swap i'm reconsidering, so my question is would swaping to maybe a q-jet be enough to feed my 356, and would it be cheaper?

The q-jet has plenty of capacity for a 350.

Sure. Plenty big to feed healthy engines right up into the 450ci range, with proper tune.

TBI to carb is about the easiest swap there is, as far as completely changing induction systems goes.

Re: probably another anoying intake ?
I have'nt decided if I want to sell them yet because i bought everything for 300$ on ebay and after i impulsively jumped into this swap I dont think these parts are worth what I paid.
