305 TBI to 350 TPI

I have a stock 85 Camaro with the 305 TBI and Automatic Tranny. I also have a TPI system complete with ECM from 86 Camaro Iroc 305. What I want to do is put the TPI on a 350 and put it in the 85. So far I have another gas tank lined up with electric pump in the tank, and am planning on a wiring harness (86 Iroc) from Painless. I am looking at getting a EPROM from the local Chevy dealer for an 88 Camaro 350. Does anyone see any possible problems or suggestions?

No 305 TBIs in 85. You've probably got the LG4 Carbureted 305.

I, too, am swapping from 305 TBI to 350 TPI. I have an '86 L98 from a Corvette and will be converting it from MAF to SD.

If you can't find a speed density harness at the junkyard for some reason, or want to buy one new, here's the cheapest I've found from GMPARTSDIRECT:

12080890 Speed Density Wiring Harness 447.60

I've heard far, far too many horror stories about using Painless, etc., versions.

just purchased 350 TPI, Dual fan setup, OEM Posi, GM 3.42 gears and JEGS Ultimate Support Cover for 7.5 rear.
