I have an 89 Camaro the engine just devolved a loud ticking sound sounds like something in the bottom end I would like to put a new 350/355/383 in and do the conversion does anyone know of a good crate engine between than I can get that will work with a tpi setup I know I need a ecm tune new injectors and so on I was also looking at the stealth ram setup to Im looking for a crate engine with 375 to 400 hp between 2500-3200 for a long block

 

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

"TPI setup" is going to make...
...kind of difficult.
A Holley Stealth Ram is probably the best intake choice to get the power with a TPI operating system.

This:
isn't going to be easy, either.

I don't know a lot about it, but apparently a LT1 longblock with TPI intake/controls can be done. You're probably talking a used engine, but you could probably find a rebuilt somewhere.

I have as exotic as they get TPI setup, I'm running an LT1 with a TPI on top of it, the bigest problem with creat motors is "Generally" their HP in in the higher RPM ranges, where as my TPI setup runs out of air at 5800 ish, but I wanted low end torque. my advice is to be honest with yourself as to what you wish to accomplish with the car. IE quarter mile ripper, or a DD that has an unreal launch that can Kick **** on most of the ricers on the street, plus get "decient" mileage when driven like a little ol lady. lol
