Putting TPI on my Carbed Truck

Hey guys! I have a 92 Chevy Silverado with a 355 that I built for it. It currently has a carb setup and I was wanting to switch it over to a TPI set up. I have a few questions:

Besides the wiring harness and sensors are the intake, plenum and basic hardware the same for the 85-92 tpi setups?

If I purchased an 87 setup could I put a wiring harness and sensors on it from a 90-92 speed density?

Also is there a post with a list of stuff that I would need?

Any info would be awesome guys. Please remember that i am just learning thanks.

Sorry, this is going the wrong direction to keep it alive.

For the sake of the rare member who is putting such a setup in an older 3rd gen w/o using all the factory pieces, Painless and others have swap harnesses and setups. The latest edition of Chevy High Performance magazine has a feature on a guy who put TPI in an older vehicle (I forget which outfit provided the swap hardware, and I'm too lazy to go get the magazine and look it up for you - go buy a copy).

So, board rules being board rules...

Say "Goodnight, Gracie..."
