has any body converted a tpi 305 to a tbi 305? if so, is it hard? what all do i need

 

why would you want to do that?

 

i am also going to have to ask why?
but i really don't think it would be all that difficult, just grab the top end of a TBI and the ECU for it, i really don't forsee a performance or economical advantage however

 

i like the theory of the tbi alot, plus i got a pro stock hood scoopfor it and i want it to be functional, tbi is the only way i can think, unless you have any fab ideas

 

i see, are you going with a stock style unit or some aftermarket performance unit

 

unit?

 

thottle body unit, sorry i like to make up my own words for things sometimes

 

i dont know, i wish i could just do some sweet azz bending and get the tpi to have a filter in the scoop, but that is some sharp bends, i think it would put to much drag on the air. what do you think, with a stock tpi, how much clearance do you have in between the hood and intake? enouch for a cold air pipe?

 

i really don't know, hopefully one of the TPI guys can help you more with that, i was just looking at some of the aftermarket TBI units, holley and edlebrock both make them, both 2 and 4 barrel, holley is cheaper though, but it is still over $1000

 

umm i would never switch from tpi to tbi in a street car, it is a street car correct? just for a hood scoop, you want functional slap a procharger on the tpi
