400SBC and STOCK TBI

heres the deal:
my uncle has that 400 SBC. he will swap me it for my 305... its only for his beach truck, and he doesnt need a 400.... catch is, i need to drive to north carolina and swap motors... in otherwords, put his motor in my car. and give him my 305..... prob is, i still have TBI....


now first question... will it run? i have no idea what cam is in there, athough i do know it is REALLY mild. esp for a 400..



i know that if i can find someone with a TBI running a 400, i can ask them for a copy of their BIN, have a chip made, and when i do the swap, pop in teh chip for the drive home....... but who has a chip for a STOCK tbi with a 400 under it?!

otherwise, id be trying to drive a 400 on 305 programming




what can i do to make it work just to drive me home.......??

ps: home is roughly a 470mile drive.


keep in mind, i can tweak everything when i get home and i will eventually put TPI and a aftermarket manifold on it.....


also. will my 91 camaro accessory brackets bolt onto the 400SBC?

This would probably be better suited for the tbi board.

oh, and if you're worried about a billion "TBI sucks, dont do it!" replys...


...they're stupid people who dont read the entire post before they reply...... think of it as a way to weed out people to ignore.
