1992 TPI Camaro 305 to 350

Hi Guys, Hope someone out there can help me out. Bought a 92 z28 heritage addition . Guy said motor ran good but after i bought it it started rapping. Upon disassembly i found 3 of the rods had no bearings. So I though I might as well go 350 or L-98. I want to keep the tpi set up and bought a 1990 vette long block with the aluminum heads. Questions i have are.... Can I use the 6 qt oil pan from the vette? will it fit? also how much can i modify the L-98 and not have problems with the computer. Thanks Dave

Well for one you will need to mod the comp starting out, gotta get yourself a 350 prom. Other things you will need are 350 injectors and a knock sensor for a 350. I have no idea about the oil pan sorry. If you are going to get a prom, I highly recommending burning your own, or getting someone who knows how to do it, if you do this you can mod the engine as much as your heart desires.
