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?

i just put a copy here after noone replied there.
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.
