Carb to TBI

I have a 305 TBI and plan on buying a crate motor 350 from summit with all the goodies (ie carb, dizzy, and everything else with a turn key crate)

Big questoin is.....

Can I use my stock TBI unit with upgraded fuel pump and all the stuff I need to switch to 350 (ecm, knock sensor, blah blah blah..)

I wanna keep that MPG good even with the 350..

Re: Carb to TBI

I would just get the short block and yes, bolt the complete intake you already have on it.

350 is a vague description to address fueling, though L05 and L03 use the same fuel pump.

Coustom chip/ tune, ECS, Knock sensor and injectors, is al you need for a basic L05 swap, here it the sticky tread covering it https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tbi/...-350-swap.html
