One word

Why??

No the PCM for an LT1 will not work with the TPI distributor, the blocks for the LT1 and 1st gen are the same, except for the timing chain cover where the waterpump shaft comes through, plus you would have to find some way to reverse flow the coolant, so why not just use the entire LT1?
