350 engine build up

Okay now i have some questions. First could I built up a 350 and use my tbi induction from my 305 and bolt on there and it would run or is there some other way to do this? Because i saw sombody that may have down this but not sure OR are they different ways of doing this because i want to try to keep the tbi trying not to make things not so difficult. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you can swap the 305 tbi onto a 350, but you will need to upgrade to 350 injectors and get a ecm for a 350. While you're in there I suggest you do the ultimate tbi mods as well.

I think the TBI and TPI injectors are different. And since the TBI system never came on a 350 it is unlikely that it could feed a 350. I could be wrong. That wouldn't be unusual.

Actually I am wrong. TBI came on the truck 350's until 1996. So you could get 350TBI injectors off of a truck 350.
