going from TBI -> TPI, quick question

im about to pickup a 91 RS tomorrow, i've been looking for a while and im gonna go with this one, its got the 305 and its got TBI.

Now, im planning to drop a zz4 in with TPI on it instead of the TBI, i've read the archives and the article on doing the swap, but approx how much am i looking to pay to do the switchover, i just wanna make sure before i go and buy this car.

thanks, i appreciate it and unless anyone knows of a reasonably priced 91/92 8 cyl camaro (a z28 would be primo) in the NJ area, this is what im gonna go with.

Hey man its not worth it. Just get one with a 350 tpi already. With the rs you get no posi, no rear disc, no 145 speedo, the 350's also get a better trans than the rs's and the z28's look good as hell, unless you want a sleeper? I got a 91 z-28 for sale 5500.
