I need help making a decision. In the next few weeks I'm putting one of my engines in another car. The car has a full TPI setup with it, just needs a new engine. Should I just drop the engine in with a carb or should I throw the tpi on it since everything for its already there? I can't make up my mind which would be easier. To swap the tpi on all I really need to do swap the intakes (right now it has a proformer rpm) and put in a TPI compatable cam. I guess I'm really just looking for some opinions. Thanks.
Edit: Also does anyone know if all SBC motor mounts are the same? I have a new set I bought for my vette and I'm wondering if there useable on an F-car, thanks again.

Use the TPI.....the dizzy for the car depends on having the computer hooked up. Also TPI is cooler than a carb 
The engine mounts will be the same......
