305 vs 350 TPI
What was the difference in price(new)? Not the package, just the engine.
And what parts didnt they share? (ex. injectors, prom)

the price for a 305 TPI was $745 in 1987
The price for a 350 TPI was $1,045 in 1987.
I've heard that the TPI was the same on both engines, but I don't know that for a fact.

The plenum is the same I believe, and the intake? I can't recall off hand but the TPI section of the site delves into details. My mom was asking about the signifigance of adding the Form 350 stickers missing from my car. I mentioned that the engine size is denoted and makes a difference to car buyers interested in the performance aspect. The V6 F cars don't have backing for their good looks, except for the handling and the Turbo T/A of course.
