TPI intake on Crate motor?
I have a 86iroc with the 305TPI i wanna upgrade to a 350 but i though i should explore all options before i do anything. i would like to put the TPI intake on the crate motor but from what i can see the intake is to short to fit a 350 i was gonna but some valve covers on the car but they where to long so would i need to take the TPI system off that intake and onto anouther? i just have no idea what needs to be done to go that route.... would it just be better to go the carb route? and any suggestions for crate motors i got $2500 or so to spend

305's and 350's use the same size intake, so there shouldn't be any length difference. bolt pattern can change over the years, but it would still lay correctly
