305-350 ecm question

Hello all,
I recently swapped a 350 into the place of my worn out 305 TBI. All of the goodies from the 305 swapped right over. I got the new injectors, knock sensor, all that good stuff. I am having a hard time finding the correct ecm. I have read some were taking one out of a 1987 caprice ending in 8746 for the service number.
Where would I find this ecm? It seems to be the key to my success and turning out to be a brain buster! Thanks you guys!

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd suggest looking on the TBI forum. And, now you've got a bump in case someone here knows the answer.

If your still using the TBI injection, just swap the engine over and have a custom chip burned. No reason to need a different computer.

did you use the stock cam out of the 305 when you swaped it over or did you change it?
