L98 TPI to Carb

I have a couple of questions. I have a 88TA L98 TPI. I was wanting to go with a carb nice setup. Can I use the block and heads off the L98 or at least the block? Thanks for any help

The block I know is fine. It's a 350 2-bolt block. The same block is put in trucks and sold in cheaper crate-engines.

of course all that stuff will work its no different than any other small block from the intake down. You'll either need to buy a intake designed for 87-up heads or modify a regular one (much cheaper and very easy to do)
