Changed out my 1990 305 TPI For 350 TPI Engine
All,
My old 305 was showing low oil pressure after 150k miles so I had the engine swapped out with a Jasper Rebuilt 350 Tuned Port engine. Everything swapped out fine. I did not change out the injectors. They were a hold over from the 305. Should the injectors be changed out do to the slightly larger engine? I did not do anything to the computer either.

I’d suspect it’s running lean. A spark plug read or wideband or watching fuel trims would tell you. You might consider a proper tune and 22#hr injectors .

I'd look at your BLM's on a scan tool and I agree w/TPerf that you'll see that it's trending to correct for a lean AF ratio. If I saw that, I'd swap the injectors, skip the tune and go burn some rubber.
Cheap skate's trick: Buick 3800 series II normally aspirated engines use the right sized injector for the 350 TPI. I got mine from a junk yard for $6 each.
