Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

Hey guys My first post I know this is a old post but im hoping to get a answer I have a 95 K1500 with a 305 tbi want to replace with a 350 tbi. My computer is a BJXL. So can I just put a prom chip in it? I found a prom BYXL for a 95 c1500 with a 350 is this what I need? thanks

Thanks for the fast reply they may have it listed wrong on eBay anyway if I find the right prom chip is that all I need or do I need to replace the computer also

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

All you need is the appropriate memcal. It’s a calibration for the ecm.

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

hi all, new to this site. just purchased a 91 r/s with 305tbi. i'm starting to gather the parts to swap in a 350. i have a 350 roller cam block with a balanced assembly with flat top pistons , and lunati efi cam with 219/227,471/480 lift, on the engine stand. i was looking at a new set of heads from epm machine in oregon. alu castings,vortec 64cc chambers,190runners,202/1.60 valves ,and tbi bolt pattern, for $799 . sound like a good combo ?

Did you ever get this figured out? I am having the same problem. Also what part number prom did you go with?

I purchased a 1990 Camaro rs as a project. It came from factory with a 305tbi and standard transmission. Previous owner swapped in a 350tbi automatic transmission. He did not change anything else. So i am in the process for changing injectors and so forth. However i need a prom chip. I have 8746comp if that helps.

The closest calibration for your ecm is atjp or anlu.

Would an 87-89 Corvette ESC Module work for my 350 TBI swap? Ive got one of those and I figured it would match ok to my stock L98 knock sensor.

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

Hey guys, Im in the process of doing the 305-350 swap on my 901 RS. I have the 350 injectors,ESC and Knock sensor. No chip yet. I know if i dont change the chip it will run rich..But im also changing the entire exhaust to headers and NO cat with 3 inch. Also the air filter will be a K&N. will this lean it out enough? If not I need to find a chip.

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

I apologize if this is a repeat dumb question but I'm having a hard time finding a chip for my 1989 305 swapped to a 350 TBI. I found this one at Hypertech (129362 chip) it's for an 1989 Caprice. Their sales staff is useless at answering the followig question. "Will the 129362 chip work in my 1258746 ECM."

Do you know?

Thanks!

I apologize but I'm not sure what atjp or anlu means. Are you saying I can buy the Caprice ECM on ebay and plug it into my harness?

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

Atjp and anlu are the letters on top of the chip the broadcast code. The one on eBay might work I’d just verify chip code.

If your staying with a 8746 no need to worry about a calpak but if you go 747 truck ecm there is a v6 and v8 calpak

Re: How to: 305 To 350 swap....everything you need to know

I'd prefer to keep the 746 and just swap the chip if that's possible. The Hypertech part number is 129362 for its 1989 Caprice chip. They're trying to sell me the 5.7 TPI performance chip and I keep telling them it won't work. They know less than I do which is concerning.

So will an
ANLU or ATJP based chip from an 1989 Caprice work in my car's 746?

I would assume 89-90 hyper poop 129362 would work it looks to be a police tune.
but afaik the don’t accept returns if incorrect

It will. While I do run a custom tuned chip much better suited to my setup I have put the "copcar chip" in before being curious and it ran ok on my car. Pretty much a stockish L98 running TBI.
