input needed on lb9-350

so i got a 86 ta with a tpi lb9 and was gonna rebuild the 305... the PO overheated like crazy and warped both heads.. (my best guess) so anyway its dead right now and before i get back from the deployment i gotta decide which way to go with it.. so will this work....

ECM is same as l98 camaro ecm so swap in a l98 performance chip,
reuse as much of the sensors as possible (ive been told i need a 350 knock sensor), reuse the tpi intake and TB, get an aftermarket cam (edlbrock has a cam designed for TBI moters that ive been told should work)

thats all ive come up with for now.. any other input? stuff ill need or things i should change.... feel free to shoot down my idea if its not worth it or not gonna work.. ive never worked with EFI before but it works out in my head...

I wouldn't use an Edelbrock cam. There are a lot of better choices out there.

You have the basics covered. 350's used 22 lb injectors vs. 19 lb for 305's. You might want to get them as well as the chip and knock sensor.
