Engine: 305 TBI (5.0L)
Transmission: 700-R4 (w/ trans kit)
Axle/Gears: 2.73 (Stock)
Engine: 305 TBI/TPI 5.0L needed

Searching for a used 305 TBI/TPI that has atleast 95 thousand miles if not less than that amount. I have 800 to spend total, I still need to get the radiator hoses (melted from engine overheating and blowing up), I will also need the radiator fan as well plus fluids. Those I will get a week after since I get paid weekly with my second job.

My main concern is getting the engine and making sure its the correct replacement (somewhat). I was told the engine was 305 5.0L TBI (in metric measurements) I just some help since I am a newbie to working on these wonderful machines. I was not happy when the original engine blew up because I did enjoy the modifications that was done to it and I loved the sound of it. I am trying to get that back and need alittle guidance on finding it. I was lookingat auto salvage yards in richmond and maybe in petersburg va too. I found a few that I could buy but not sure if i would lose what I have now that is on the engine.

Any help would get my camaro back running again. It is my only car and my baby.

I have a 5.0 tbi that i could sell you, I'm not positive on the mileage, it's either 36k or 136k because my odo only has 5 digits. The car is very clean and runs great so i'm leaning more towards the 36k but i could be wrong. regardless the engine runs good and strong and I'd be willing to sell it to you, if you'd like you can even come down to Md and hear and see it run. I'd sell it cheap too so let me know because I'm eyeing a 350tpi to drop into it.

How much for the TPI setup? does it include everything to convert my original TBI to TPI?
----------
How much the TBI engine Legal? I am tryin to find something reasonable to atleast get my camaro back up and running. But if ZZ4's TPI setup is reasonable I might go with it. Just not trying to spend a fortune right now because of wanting to get my finances straight.
Thanks guys

theres some prices on there, but if course if you add more together its a better price. plus youre local, so im swayed more to sell it to you. anyways, check that out and let me know which parts you want/need and well work on a price. no rush here so no pressure.
