Need help putting it back together
Hi, I have an 86 Iroc that was a 305 TPI Auto, I just put in a 350 with a t-5. I'm just starting to hook things up. I was wondering if anyone knows of a book or has pictures of how to put everything onto this engine. I am kind of lost, plus I made the mistake of leaving all the bolts in the 305 and the engine shop did not seem to give everything back to me. I took the 305 to a shop, they told me the block was cracked, so I took in a 350 that I had in a broken 83 for them to rebuild . I'm satisfied so far but I'm not 100% sure how i'm going to put it all together. The car has 350, TPI, and all options inc Air. Any ideas?
Thanks alot,
Thomas

I have the engine sitting inthere, with the lower intake on. thats about it, I'm just waiting right now for the thermostat housing, cause mine walked away on me. I'm just trying to figure out which side the cold start injector goes onto. also which runner goes onto which side, they seem to be a bit different. I guess i'm not sure how its ganna go from there, but this is my first time doing this, and I guess i did not do a great job on remembering where things go.
What should i watch out for?

You'd be wise to do a search on "TPI swap"... it would have all the same info you are looking for.

Does anyone know what goes into the hole between the cold start injector and the injector shown in the picture?
Am i suppose to have anything in there?
Thanks

that picture is not actually my car. I have the cold start on the drivers side is that where its suppose to be, I thought it was?
I read that the hole in the picture there is for a pcv valve, is this true, and if so where does the other end connect to?
Thanks
