On the TBI forum there is a sticky about a budget 350 swap. I believe that claims no computer retuning required. But, a lot depends upon the 350 you've got, the cam it has, etc.

Yes and no. Yes, it can be used, but modifications are required. You'll need to modify/replace the tranny crossmember, hook the torque arm to something, and get a longer driveshaft. 2 of the 3 can be handled with '82/'83 TH200C or 4 speed parts, but you still wouldn't have anything to hook the torque arm to. TGO sponsor Spohn has swap parts to handle it all (and handle it well, I might add).

What tranny do you have now, and why are you considering a TH350?
