Hmm... if you got a TPI vette and a whole LT1 motor, the best thing would be get vette acessories im guessing and follow the guys instructions for modding the LT1 intake to accept a dist, the LT1 intake is far better than the TPI, but putting a dist would let you run your stock computer etc and remove the opti, the stock f body acessories may fit but im not sure, dont have a vette myself, you'll also need an LT1 radiator.

I would defenitly not go with a TPI on an lt1, this engine makes around 300 hp ...TPI can't feed a mild 350 ....if you want torque and hp keep the miniram and all of it's component, do a wiring harness yourself and it should take around 10 days if your alone and it's the first time your doing it.
