what are you doing complete tbi to tpi swap harness and all? what are you looking to spend? Do you already have parts? Is it complete motor or are you just switching intakes? just a few questions. How much down time can you spare? Is it your daily driver? Stuff like that

I have all of the parts, and the wiring harness from under the hood of a 91 z28 305.
the 305 in my rs is still good so i would just like the intakes swapped. I have another car to drive so I could go w/o the car for prob. 2-3 months or more. I am looking to have this swap done sometime this summer.
I am in the dark on costs, so i'm also trying to get an estimate
thanks again

Just throwing a number at you, but i would imagine you would be looking at $1000 for someone to do the swap, unless you have some really good friends.

There are a number of shops in Columbus that could do it. I'm sure that a member of www.columbusracing.com could point you in the right direction.

Unless you changing the heads as well you might not be happy with the peformance results.

I may do the same swap sometime in the next year, but I'll be doing the work myself.
