FYI, 91/92s also came with TBI, which looks like a carb would, at a quick glance under the hood.

 

How are you going to do that with a Pontiac engine in it? Won't they pick that up right away? I am in Wy and don't have any emissions at all so I don't know anything about emissions lol.

 

they just have to pass a visual there not gonna look for 455 on the block plus i know the guy.

 

your right my bad lol, but i dont like tbi so thats why i want to keep it carbed for now.

 

Right but TBI looks an awful lot like a carb. So run carb and tell them it is TBI. What is the physical size difference between the 455 and a small block anyway? I mean, I know you know the guy and all, but isn't that a big difference?

 

well i have to keep in consideration of the computer which i would have to get a new one because i want it to be street and strip.

 

So keep the computer of you TBI and all the wireing and hook it up to the carborated engine. All you need is the starting, charging, and ignition circuit. You won't need a computer for the carburated engine.

 

i have fuel injection now. so if i just hooked it up the computer would freak, plus even if i had tbi i would have to get it reprogramed or a chip burnt, because it a dif. motor-fuel to air mixture, spark, etc. which is money/time i dont have.
