Quick questions......

Do the 350 TBI's have the same heads as the 350 L98's?
Will the TPI setup from a '91 305 work on a '92 350TBI?
What, if any problems should i run into?
What horsepower and torque numbers will i be looking at?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I'm no expert thats for sure, but I'm pretty sure that the heads are different, the L98s are aluminum and the L05s are cast, the L98s should out flow the LO5s, too

tpi setup would work there is a tech article on it, sounds like a big pain to me, but I'm only 19.

if I were you I'd just get the L98 heads (i figured you have access to some) and put them on the 350 tbi, but thats just my view.

the stock lo5 heads and cam are unadulterated garbage... The L98's come in cast iron and aluminum flavors if im not mistaken. Try to get one of them.

Well, i am currently installing the TPI of an 91 305 onto this 92 350 TBI. Will this TPI work or does it have to be off a 350 TPI? I might get the L98 heads and have them installed as well...... I am on a tight budget.

youll have to have a chip and possibly 350 injectors but the TPI system is the same...GM didnt change it just stuck it on an engin ewitrh 45 more cubes...TPI will really choke the motor past a certain RPM

YeaI was going to try to go the cheap way to on my 350 TBI & get some stock heads which were cleaned ($80), then have them machined & get the valves, springs, etc. that I wanted & that would cost more than a pair of Trick Flow TW G2's which are way better than stock machined heads.... Just save up & get a good pair of aftermarket heads.
