Carb engine needs to be a TPI.

I have a engine which has a carb. I need to make it it fuel injection. Can I use a complete intake from a 90-92 camaro or trans am? I take it I need to use new heads which are fuel injection. I know the stock one's will not work. I have a cam in the engine now. I see that hawks thrid gen or youngs fbody has a programmer to comp for the cam. Trying to do my homework so I can get the car running. thanks

Re: Carb engine needs to be a TPI.

Depending on what heads are actually on the car now and what cam is inside. Is it the 91 that is in your info that is listed as a work in progress, if so, is it the original engine that someone put a carb on. A 91 that wasn't TPI would have been TBI, so may be easier than you think to get it back to EFI.
