Engine Swap

I have a 1988 Firebird with a 305 TBI. I was planning on dropping in a new crate 350 and just needed to know what I would have to do about the computer because im probably changing to a carb. Any help would be appriciated.

Hey pimp, go to the engine swap tread and they can give you the info you need, you'll most likely be moved there anyway as soon as a moderator sees this. Good luck with your swap. Jim
