2.8 mpfi to 350 throttle body

I'm not sure if this is covered as I can't find it. I have an 88 camaro with the 2.8 mpfi and a 700r4 trans how easy is it to put a 350 throttle body motor from an 88 Camaro into mine?
If any one tries to get ahold of me and does not succeed my email is 941.330@gmail.com I'm looking to do this asap because my motor is on its last leg.

WAY more work than it would be worth to do.

You would need to cut the inlet off a TPI intake and graft it onto the 2.8L intake.

At that point you STILL have the same restriction you have now, the heads and the intake itself.

Even with a full swap? I'm talking pull out the 2.8 completely and put the 350 in to bolt to my 700r4. I'm unsure about the wiring harness. :-(

I thought you were talking about swapping just the throttle bodies.

To answer you question I will direct you to the engine swap forum. This forum will not be of any use to you.
