455 carb-->454 TBI conversion
ok, I had a thread a while back about running dual tb's, but now I am on to more practical ideas (for the time being). First off, I'm sure that someone makes a 4bbl intake to tbi adaptor right? cool. Now, I will probably need a fuel pump, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator right? and i'll proabably need a return line too huh. I'm sure that I'll need at least an o2 sensor, but what other sensors will I have to accomodate for the swap? Will the ecu go into some gay *** limp mode if all the sensors arent connected? Can this be disabled through the chip? I have a friend that burns chips so tuning isnt really an issue, but with the cams and displacement being so similar, i see it as being more likely to go smoothly than the tbi 350 swap in the camaro. ANy other words of advice?

oh and is there any way to use a tbi system exclusively for fuel delivery? I dont know about getting a compatible distributor for my olds 455, so i may just try to figure out how to not use the ecu's timing features. Is this possible?
