350 Tpi

Hey guys

my question is could i put a TPI setup from a 85 camaro 305 onto
a 84 corvette 350 long block without having to get anything drilled out.
I've read on here some heads don't go with some manifolds.
anyway shold this work.
Thanks



Jeff

I think you'll be fine, not positive though, Vortech heads won't go with a stock manifold. Not sure when they went to centerbolt valve covers, probably after '86 at least, that might cause some problems too, but you have an '85.

Ok it will bolt up just fine. Make sure you match the pph of the injectors for the 350.

87-92 F-Bodies were updated intake pattern (two center bolt holes were more upright).
85,86 F-Bodies were the standard pattern (pre 86).
85-91 Vette were the standard pattern (pre 86).

Centerbolt covers started in 87. The Corvette got the centerbolts but retained the old intake pattern. Cast Iron got the updated pattern. Hope that clears a few things up.
