I am now thinking about switching from TBI to TPI to install the TPI crate motor (maybe). What is involved insuch a switch?

 

Don't bother. Get an Eprom burner and keep your TBI.

 

if your gonna buy a crate motor get something better than a TPI engine maybe a Ramjet 350

 

I was more interested with the wiring/electrical side of things. I wanted to know what had to be done in that department more than I was actually interested in switching. If I do do some sort of swap, it will most likely be a LS1 or LS2.

 

i already have the tpi (but its a 305)...anybody know where i can get a decent (not hard core gas guzzler high power) 350 crate engine for around $2k?

 

Repinning TBI to Speed Density TPI

 

The GM HO 330 hp 350 is around that then add the vortec TPI intake. Well it is actually around $2,700 when it is said and done, but the parts are brand new, the engine is mild but makes plenty of power, and it has a warrenty backed by GM.

 

Thanks for the repinining link. Here is a link to a pretty good engine. Not a ton of horsepower, but, hey...

 

so i can hook up the TPI to that?

and it also says "replacement for most GM vehicles from 1970-85."

why is it made for specific years?
