Fire??? Time to swap

Long story short my '86 TA caught fire a couple of weeks ago and it destroyed everything under the hood. But I see it as an opportunity to swap out that 305 for a 350. I am looking to replace the TPI harness, fuel system, etc. However I know I will have specific questions for you if that is all right. I appreciate your time.

Can I use an LT1 Radiator and Fans on my car? What all would be involved to make it work?

Also can I use the '87 TBI heads that came with my 350 truck motor with the TPI base manifold?

How would this camshaft (Comp Cams 12-338-4) work out with this engine?

Will any of the sensors from the TBI work on the TPI system?

Anybody know where I can get information on an aftermarket TPI wiring harness?

Can I use the truck belt drive without a lot of modification?

Thanks fellas.

Heads, I wouldn't - TBI heads are junk.

TBI sensors will not swap out for TPI system, except maybe simple senders like OPSU, cooolant temp for guage (driver head).
