Engine Swap....
Hello....
I am looking to swap the TBI 305 out of my '91 RS Convertible and am trying to decide whether is should take the TPI 350 out of a '92 Z28 or the LT1 out of a '94 Z28.... I know a bit about swapping engines (I helped my friend swap engines in his '68 Camaro SS).... but I am not really sure which engine would be better to use.... which would be less complicated.... any advice is gladly welcome....

Without question, the L98 out of the '92 would be the simplest.
It isn't hard to argue that the LT1 is the highly superior engine. Or that it is a significantly more complicated swap (see the sticky at the top of this forum).
You'll have to decide between short-term ease, and long term superiority.
FWIW, working on the '68 was a walk in the park compared to either of these projects. But, that was a good place to start, now you're ready to move on to the next phase of your wrenching experience.
