305 None TPI, to 305 TPI, Hard? Worth it?

I have a 1991 RS camaro, I am curious if it would even be worth putting a TPI engine to the 305 it already has in there. Or if I should keep it in there mod it out, and run with it. Or just down the road drop a 350 in...



Also And cuious on the 305. what would be some real good Horse power you could get out of that just from doing somethings for it.

And Also is the z28 really that much better of a car the then RS in that year?
Compared beyond physical features.

I mean like options like power seats, or whatever.

I think the look of the tpi alone is worth it but that is just me. You would have to replace the complete engine harness and computer though. As far as options go you could get everything in an rs that you could in a z except for the suspension and the tpi motors. They even had an option for a more performance oriented suspension for the rs. They just put gutless motors and airplane gears in them. Fortunately that can all be changed with some money and hard work. Also as I'm sure you know everything is interchangable between the z and the rs. Hope this helps. You probably won't notice a big difference in the tpi but if you're gonna do the work you might as well get the heads from a tpi car and put a new cam in it to liven it up a bit.

To do something around those lines. Price wise, what would we be looking at give or take?
