converting to tpi on a 83 cutlass

the car is a 83 olds cutlass.

its a sbc 305, im gonna get a tpi setup off of a third gen f body.

my main concern is the bracketry, can i use the stock ones on there now? any other suggestions or anything i should remember before doing the swap?

i was planning on just swapping the top end: intake, fuel rail, injectors, harness, pcm, heads, and hydrualic cam, lifters, pushrods.

will this be a bolt on?


can i use the th350 tranny thats in there?

thanks

An '83 Cutlass engine is basically the same thing as an '83 3rd gen engine. A search will yield all the info you need.

You'd have to be asking about putting the '83 Cutlass engine into a 3rd gen in order to comply with board rules, so....
