manifold swap

Hey guys, i was wondering if it would be hard to swap a TPI manifold for a carb manifold. And if it would mess with anything like the fuel pump or anything. Thanks in advance!

it would mess up the distributor since its computer controlled. All you have to do though is swap to the old style HEI. It might also messup the torque converter lockup function but thats easy to fix.

You will instantly gain plenty of hp and will have tons more potential for more hp.
