What engine can I run with stock TPI

Okay I have a 305 TPI right now out of my 87 IROC-Z28 Camaro and it has 160 something thousand miles on it well I know I could run that forever but I want something new. I want to buy a crate engine but I want to keep the TPI. What crate engine can I buy and do this with? Ive seen people do it with a 383 and stuff but the TPI never really worked right so what engine can I get keep the TPI and just *** bigger throttle bodies etc.? BTW I want some big ***** under the hood

TPI never gives enough air


a crate engine is a 350 the same as an L98 is a 350, why would a ZZ4 crate be incompatible (its not)


Choose your displacement, then pick your crate accordingly.

If you EVER want to see power you're going to have to do alot more than stock tpi ontop of the crate engine, the power isn't in the rotating assembly.
