tpi into non tpi car
ive got an 86 firebird 305 5spd, carb motor, i just purchased an 86 tpi engine with a 350 block, so it has the 305 heads, the injectors were changed, i was just wondering how hard the motor would be to swap in, it has the computer with it, and all accesories, sensors ect.
i know ill have to have a chip made for the 5spd, how much do those run? any ideas how much power the motor should make?

Camaro and firebird tpi engines have different eng. harnesses.Only because of batt. location.Camaro=pass. Firebird=driverside.
