I need to know b/c I am hoping that when I put an 88 350 TPI into my 85 T/A with 305 TPI I can just use a stock 85 vette Prom (Until I learn how to burn my own proms) Def not going to be permanant but I am hoping to get good drivability out of it.

I already know that the heads on a vette are alum. but that is the only diff that I know.

 

An 85 vette 350 would have had iron heads and a flat tappet cam instead of a roller.

 

yup what biff said..

 

OK so your saying that the chip should work fine then

 

the vette has a oil temp that the F-Body does not that may throw a code because it is missing, however, beyond that if the cam is close to what the original vette had and the other original inners are the same I would think that it would work.

 

Well I have contacted performance resource and they said that the chip should work, but I decided to get a second opinion.

 

OK I have done some seaching and I found that Jim85Iroc had considered the same thing. But he ended up converting to the the 86-89 harness and ECM. But mabye he will chime in here and help me out with the info that he learned.

 

Anyone else know any thing about this?

 

Your better off convertting to the 1227165 ECM, deleting cold start, and running $6E code.

Your even MORE better off converting to 1227730, deleting MAF and running $8D code.

Sweet, from what I understand is that his car runs fine with 85 ECM and vette chip, and his engine is alot more modified then mine will be.

 

I ran a '85 vette chip on my ZZ4 motor
for the first 6 months it was in. I later
did the '165 and then '730 upgrades.

should still have a copy of an updated
'85 vette chip online.

 

So Mike, did you have any problems running a stock vette chip?

 

Here is some reading material about the diffs:
