Can I use the Camaro TPI air induction on a Camaro with a Firebird L98?
Can I use the Camaro TPI air induction on a Camaro with a Firebird L98?
I have an 84 Camaro with a 305 TPI motor that I put in. I just found an 89 Firebird with the 350 TPI motor. Will the air induction on the Camaro motor work with the Firebird motor? From what I've heard the air induction is different on the Firebirds. Thanks.

Assuming the 305 TPI is from 85 - 86, do this:
Use the TPI manifold base, knock sensor and injectors from the 89 engine. Use the runners, plenum, MAF and other sensors from the 85 engine. Either use headers or the 89 exhaust manifolds because the 85 exhaust manifolds will not clear the centerbolt valve covers. The different air induction refers to the air filter housing and ducting. Retain the 85 TPI stuff. As far as a chip is concerned, I will defer that recommendation to someone who actually knows which chip to use
