Stupid Question!

I have a 89 Silverado 4X4 with a 305 TBI. I removed it and put in a 350 crate motor from advance. The truck will run, but I am experiencing hesitation,backfire like symptoms. The motor when acelerated, just dies. What is the missing link. I was told there was no problem swapping. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Jim

Is your chip tuned for the new engine?

Did you replace the stock computer with one from another 350?

305 to 350

I did not swap anything but the block and internal parts. No computer or TBI parts. Is this my problem? Thanks Jim

You need a new prom and 350 knock sensor and a few other things. A quick search about 350TBI swaping in the TBI board should give you all the details.
