Corvette TPI on 86 Z28

A friend of mine is about to upgrade the TPI system on his 87 vette to an aftermarket system. He is going to be willing to sell me his TPI system at a reasonable price. He has already told me I will need a new wiring harness and ECM. What else will I need to go from a Rochester Carb to his TPI system. Also will the TPI off of his 350 even work on my 305. And how much should I expect to pay for this? Thanks for the help.

How much you'll need depends upon how much you're going to get. Sounds like you'll at least need what he said, plus in-tank fuel pump and the electrics to run it.

It will "work", but the Vette used a different setup for the EGR.
