I wouldn't waste my time on any put together TBI motor out there. That motor will NOT work with the stock injectors or tuning. I would like to see what head work they did as well because the lift of that cam is nearing the limits of the stock casting, regaurdless of what springs they use. There are just too many risk when buying a motor like that off of ebay. For the 2300+ asking price you have a 350 TBI built on the side with enough cash left over for chip burning stuff along with all the other stuff that may come along with your swap.

EDIT: It doesn't even say what type of heads it comes with but it cannot be vortec becuase of their intake selection. That would mean smooger heads (never should have come into this world) or some other head.

Thanks for your replies.

I will start looking what you guys have build, and what I can find here in this forum (recomandations etc ) , but still using TBI.

I have looked at the RS tbichips.com have build using a VORTEC engine, seems like I should go that way, and get some more info from him.

Thanks again, nice to get some input.

Tom
