OK, I'm not asking if I should do this, I'm asking if I did do it...

Lets say I get my hands on a 305 Camaro, IROC, Z-28, RS, or SC doesn't much matter for the purpose of this question. (I know where I can get my hands on a 91 RS if the greedy bastard that owns it will come down a little on the price)

OK, back to the question.

Will the stock computer support a 327, swapped in place of the 305?

Would the TPI (IROC, Z-28) or the TBI (RS, SC) be enough to feed a 327?

If I would need to make mods to either what would they be?

someone can correct me if im wrong...but i believe a 327 is more of a high revving motor, or can be made to rev high easily, while TPI by design is a low rpm torque monster

something to consider or research more

 

I don't see any problems with a 327 in place. Maybe a bump in fuel pressure... A custom PROM would give you a little more edge. You need to select a good cam for the TPI combo and the 327 ability to spin... I'm trying to find a good flat tappet with trick flows and stock TPI for a 355 so I need help in this dept myself.

 

You are correct in the fact that a 327 is a high reving engine. (that's what I like about them) I just want to know if the stock computer would be able to support the needs of this engine? I don't know for sure what the induction system will be (TPI, TBI, or carb) until I actually find the car for the swap. Wouldn't TPI boost the low end torque of a 327? or would it just fall flat in the higher Rs where a 327 shines?
