Hey guys i have a 1983 camaro that has a 350 from an suposebly older vette. its got the manifolds with the Tubes coming out of them just like the tpi's have so im assuming it is.. anyways its got the stock 305 CFI setup on it at the moment and id like to put and lt1 intake out of a 1994 buick roadmaster on it.. with this work with my current heads? or will i need to get the heads from the roadmaster also? and if i do get the heads will they fit on my block and will i need the rest of the valve train? such as cam lifters push rods ext? thanks alot guys! sorry for all the noob questions im just not familiar with the differences between pre and post 87 blocks.

You can get an LT1 intake modified to fit Gen I heads, but in my opinion, it isn't worth it.

If the entire LT1 engine, harness, & PCM is available, do the whole thing.

Get the transmission as well, if possible. It'll be an upgrade from the TH700R-4, and the tailshaft housing from the 3rd gen will transfer over to it.

Re: CFI to Lt1

So, how hard is it to swap to an LT1 and 4l60 from a TPI with a 700r4?
