ok so i now have another camaro, 1988 standard. v6 mpfi 700r4.
motor is being replace with a 5.7 tpi, new/rebuilt stock(not sure i am buying it from a camaro maginize, but i do now its a stock replacement) the trans its being replaced with a t-5(used, unsure if i can get a wc though). the wireing harness has been chopped up and a new one will have to be put in and computer to. the exhaust, same thing. but its being replaced with 3" true dual cat. my questions:
1. fuel delivery, new pump? same lines?
2. will there be any problems with the frame? or anything little and unoticed to an amater like me?
3. what can i do to the motor so that it wont be embrassed at the track, but still be a daily driver.

i do expact some sarcasism, and thats ok. do searches, i will tell me what i need to look for though please. ofcourse any help is very apprecitated. budget is not poor but not rich, middle i guess make sense?

Re: tpi build

Hey,i have done this conversionon my 83. i had crossfire and so the fuel lines where not in the right spots. so i ran all new fuel line from the tank with a common tube bender and ran them up the frame. then i used a plastic fuel line kit that repairs plastic flexible lines,which are on the newer cars and such and made the lines from the frame to the fuel rail out of that. flexible and durable and it has quick disconnects on it. a little bit of work but it did the job. i had to do the wiring and the whole bit if you have any specific questions id be glad to help out.

Re: tpi build

thank you jonnyz, 1st question is whats the different between cross fire and tpi?
2. so the old fuel pump will work? did you have to add any regulators or anything extra like that?
