TBI to TPI swap...point me toward what I need to read please.

Found a deal on an L98 TPI and I want to read up on what a swap would require.

Please point me toward what I need to know.

Is TBI to LT1 any harder?

Thanks

 

There is a good tech article on this website that you need to read, other than that just search the board. I am in the process of the same swap and have been researching for about six months.

 

Step 1: Don't
Step 2: if not, buy stock in T-40 torx bit manufacturers
Step 3: see step 1

 

If you really want to do it, get the Swapping Chevrolet TPI and TBI Engines book by Jags That Run. I wanted to do this swap about two years ago, and this book has a GREAT DEAL of information. You can get this book from www.summitracing.com. The truth is, though, buying a car that came stock with an L98 will almost always be more cost-effective than swapping one in, but if you found a really good deal, that book is the first thing I'd buy.
BTW, yes, a TBI to LT1 swap would be a hell of a lot more difficult.
