i recently put a 350 crate motor in my 86 which had a carb from the factory. i now want to switch to TPI. will the TPI intake off of a 305 work on my 350? i plan on getting a wiring harness from Painless but what else will i need?

thanks

you can never have too much horsepower

you will need bigger fuel injectors and while the TPI Is out you should port all the intake stuff. Also get bigger runners or just port the old ones.

Make sure you remember the fuel pump, you need much more pressure than with the carb.

The 305 and 350 intakes are identical except for the injector size.

as rezinn said the intakes them selves are the same it's just the injectors are different
305 TPI's have a 19lbs injector
350 TPI's have a 22lbs injector
350 LT1's have a 24lbs injector
a crabed motor runs on about 5 to 9lbs of pressure
a TPI runs on around 42 to 50lbs of pressure so you will need a fuel pump that will handle that kinda presure

Also the knock sensors for a 350 and a 305 are different as well as the chip.

I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT

1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package , dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, 16" IROC rims and ASCD SS hood.

future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames,
T-56 almost ready to go in, TPI swap coming up

Wifes new car:

95Z28, AT, leather, T-tops bone stock for now.

future mods:
header to tailpipe replacement and a cold air intake. Then I am just going to leave it alone

Get yourself a book called "TPI swappers guide" it will tell you everything you need to know.
