Re: 305 cfi to 350cfi?

no problem-just install 82-84 'vette 350 injectors and ECM chip-83 CFI f-bods use the same ECM as '84 'vettes,so use a chip for '84 vettes.The manifold TBIs,fuel pump,etc. is the same between 305 and 350 CFI.CFI 350 will run very strong if manifold is properly ported,fuel pump upgraded,fuel pressure regulator turned up.There is/was a high performance aftermarket upgrade"renegade"intake manifold avalible as well.

yes,but the intake manifold will need the porting/modification done before any real improvement over ~4000 rpm will be noticed-I installed a stock '84 vette engine in my car and porting of the intake made a huge difference.

Re: 305 cfi to 350cfi?

factory rating for a 1984 vette 350 was something like 205hp/4400 RPM and 290 ft lbs 2800 RPM. It felt more like 180 hp though-quite lame...with some modifications,i recon it is closer to 230 hp/320 tq I have been satisfied with it at this point for over 20 years-swapped in in 1994,modified in '95.
