305 to 350 swap need help
I have a 1984 corvette 350 engine. I want to swap it into my 86 iroc-z and keep my tpi . What would I have to do to swap it in. Would I have to have the block machined or would I have to have the manifold machined or would it bolt right up. And what cam should I use.

Thanks a bunch:lala: :lala:

Isn't the 84 Vette 350 CFI? If so, which intake do you plan to use? I would recommend the TPI intake since you would need to "re-wire" the CFI's computer to your Camaro.
Or, are you just planning on going with a carb? That would be the simplest thing to do (provided you don't have to worry about emissions).

Your 86 intake will bolt up to the 84 heads.
However, you will need a flywheel or flex plate, depending on whether you have a 5-speed or auto trans; the 84 motor has the 2-piece rear main seal design, but the 86 has the 1-piece type.
THe 84 motor will be flat tappet. I'd recommend a Comp 260AH-14 (12-402-4), or a XE262H except have them custom grind it with 112 degree lobe separation.
