1985 Corvette 350 TPI a good choice for an engine swap?
I have found a 1985 Corvette 350 TPI engine complete with harness and computer. Is this a good choice for a engine swap and has anyone done this. I have a 1991 RS with the 305 TBI and 5 speed. I know it's a two bolt main cap engine and there may be other issues with doing a swap of this kind. Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ofcourse your intake wont go over on it if you were wanting to stay with the TBI. Also 85 had iron heads not aluminum as the late 86 Corvettes did. Still much better engine than what you have and would make a great carb engine if you got it cheap.
