I am interested in converting the 350 in my truck from tbi to tpi. So if someone has a manifold setup(preferably with 350 injectors) let me know.

I've got some 24# SVO injector's I'm trying to get rid of. I paid $100 for them used. If interested, make me an offer.

I'll take a look at the junkyard tomorrow and see if that computer and wire harness is still there and intact. if so i'll ask em what they want for it. i also have a set of runners for you. you could have them for the 15$ i paid. i snagged the runners off of a yard car to replace my dented ones. i found out once i got home that the ones i got from the yard are only slightly less dented then the ones i already had.

any computers you find are almost certainly going to be 305, but that is just a chip away from being a 350. we have the original 88TPI EPROM from my T/A on Pauls PC. and if he lost it i still have my original chip we could pull it off of.

TTT Havnt been here in a while but im gettin a little on the antsy side to build me up a nice little TPI 383

Ive got base, runners, and upper intake on ebay right now. If you win/and bid all of them, I have a throttle body I'll sell you cheap. I think I also have a ecm, but it will need a prom.

if you are doing 383 you will want a custom prom anyway. the crew has access to a number of stock TPI proms. (paul has atleat mine and mikes. probably his own as well)

oh my. What to do. Tony i know that you and john are willing to help with my idle issue, but my latest talks with myself got me thinking why mess around with my tbi when i want to step up to tpi anyway. So i was just thinking is someone had a relativly cheap, relativly complete TPI setup then i would run that. Of coarse what i should do is just do the ultimate upgrade to a LS1 or similar Shocked

i meant a custom prom for the TPI.... i am a huge fan of ditching the "bastard" fuel injection known as TBI. it just weirds me out that it adds fuel before the throttle blades.... it's like a gasoline fogger system. i prefer direct port injection.

now we need to wait for johns post where he points out that his TBI305 is faster then my TPI350, and then the subsequent post where i remind him that all i have in my engine is headers. Very Happy

perhaps you should wait until the engine is actually in the car to talk smack. Pokey pokey

or is "383" like a nickname you have given your 305 Laughing

i'm just poking some fun.

about three weeks ago I-5 Auto & Truck Parts had 87 camaro tpi you could try giving them a call and seeing if they still have it there number is (360) 262-3550 and there in Chehalis, but I dont know how much they wanted for it.

ok thanks! And now that you mention it i do remember seeing several completeish TPI setups at local U-pullits around here. I really should just top messing with it though and just step up to the 6.0.
