454 Tbi

Where can i get my hands on a 454 tbi? I am wondering if this is the set up i should go with. I have the 350ci 330hp crate engine with the stock tbi and full flowmaster exhaust and a set of edelbrock headers. Oh forgot to add i am using the open air element. I still have the stock prom in there so the car is running like crap but i'm not going to buy a chip until i know i'm done with the car, and know i don't think i'm going to burn the chip myself.


If i sound like an idiot, don't doubt it i'm only 13

Ebay. That's where you'll find most anything you want. You won't get that engine even close with "buying a chip". Either burn yourself or convert to carb, just my $.02

Holly **** thats pricey. 450, damn... Holleys new unit goes for less and has all the same style connectors as that one, which doesnt do you much good with an 89 or later car. None the less its cheaper and new. If you dont like their injector pod, then you can always put a stadard one on.

LOL, I just realized that you guys were talking about the TBI only.... as when I responded to 91RedFirebird's response (in reference to $3000), I thought he meant the 'entire' 454 engine along with it.
