Yeah I know search button but...

I work 30 hours and I'm in school 12 credit hours this semester so I dont really have the time to read through all the posts I have a quick question. I found a 350 4 bolt main that I might pick up (i should find out this weekend), and its a pre-86 motor. I want to do a tpi and 350 swap. I want to take my time and do it right, how much should I expect to pay for a 85-86 tpi setup complete? Also could I go with vortec heads a lower tpi (vortec) intake and a speed density tpi setup? I'm thinking that I might just buy a speed density setup, a lower intake (vortec edelbrock) and the (vortec) heads.. Will this work? BTW any suggestions for a cam and injector size would be appreciated.

I'm sitting at home on my butt right now typing this.

I've been laid off (last week), my wife's at work, my kid is at daycare, I got only a $400/mo house payment (that taxes and insurance to), no car payment, only owe like $3000 in credit cards, I've got the '92 RS, a '83 1/2 ton Chevy, a '96 Lumina Minivan, and a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200, AND I got about $20K in the bank right now.

I'm having too much fun to answer you 'cause I'm ROFLMFAO!!!! :sillylol: :sillylol: :sillylol: :sillylol: :lala: :lala: :lala:
