Do you have a base now or not? Because the older one can be modified to fit.
If you are looking for a cheap one, ebay or the like is the best bet. Some of our local wrecking yards out here want an arm and a leg for TPI stuff. Theres also a guy down your way who sells alot of thirdgen stuff from his house, I dont have his email address but its floating around. Might check the socal board.
If you arent looking for the cheap route, the aftermarket has all sorts of options. I dont know how much of the stuff you need.

thank you for your input.
i do have everything off my 305 tpi motor-i just need the 87 up base--
by the way it was the original tpi base that took out the motor--
elactalisis or something like that eat away some of the base - where the intake seals to the head-causing water to get into the motor .

Cute demise of a 305.

That base would work, if you wanted to use it, just need to modify the center 4 bolt holes and fix the leak

I totally forgot we have classifieds here too Anyway, check those out and check out the TPI board. I still cant remember the guys name down in San Diego, I think his name is Randy.
