Yes you can but you will need a wiring harness adapter , S&P Performance makes a TBi to TPI adapter. You will also need a custom chip for it also.

The runners are worth something. Otherwise, there's a lot of
there.
"36 lb injectors". Like those are a good match.
"High Performance ... 48mm throttle body". Rrriiiiighttttt....

www.hotrodlane.cc is the website and they have some great stuff, alot of it isnt on the site , get a catalog. They have a TBI to TPI wiring harness adapter.
You got a good deal but if you want to make mucho power you will have to replace the GM base plate. That is the most restrictive part of the intake and there is not enough material to ported out. The 36 lbs are a litter too big for a 305 or 350 but they will work with a re-programed prom. A set of 24lbs will work better or 30lbs if you have a hot 350ci. I do not remenber if your computer use a MAF sensor, I hope it does, MAF computers can make up for some changes on air flow when you modify the engine with bigger cams, runners, T/B, headers and exhaust systems with out having to reprogram the prom. Try to get a new wire harness because use ones are getting old and their insulation in hard and crack easy. If you have any other question e-mail me to Tonysz383@wideopenwest.com
