Not unless it has absolutely everything... if it doesn't have the TPI specific bracketry, all the bolts, the throttle/tranny cables, etc then its not worth it. You can find em for $150 in the classifieds if you have patience.

I sold the whole setup off of my 89 formula(from MAF to the cpu including the wiring harness ) for $450 it was polished and the injectors were only about 1 yr old.

but hey, thats more than the whole car cost me to buy it back from the insurance after i totaled it .

$350 is hardly a rip for a complete system. But too many people call a system with a painless harness, injectors and an intake complete

Get really familiar with what parts are necessary for your swap (i.e. if you have TBI, you don't need a 2nd MAP) and price the pieces you'll have to buy to make for a complete setup. I wouldn't buy one without a factory harness or unless it was a screaming deal.
