Can just leave injector in place to fill the hole or buy fancy blocking plug
If you have a prom for '86 - '88 350 then CSI will still be needed so hook up wiring to it
355 is 350 bored 30 over

30 over is std re-bore anyway for virgin blocks
But if your motor has been bored before or has too much wear you may have to go 40 or even 60 over to clean it up
