383 Stroker Baby!!!

I know what kind of engine i want for my 1989 GTA and its definately goin to be a crate 383 stroker motors gas guzzler or not! I plan on gettin one off of ebaymotors as well because they sell some nice sounding motors made from eagle perf parts and other good perf parts that gaurantee around 430hp and 450 tq at the wheels....so

I plan on doing this after i swap my 700R4 tranny with a tremec built T-56 six speed...Once ive gotten to the engine is there anything anyone can tell me that i need to expect that might cause me problems...can my TPI still work with a 383 crate motor??? Ive seen some guys on here with 383 and their TPI manifolds still on so is this possible for me too??? Would it be better to go with EFI and how much would that cost me???

Just please tell me anything i might need to be prepared for that i might not already know about the swap or some good ideas that will help the swap work better and smoother

Thx as always
