possible 350 swap
 

well with the camaro still dead i think this is a perfect excuse to have my mechanic put my 350 in the car. im going to use it for a daily driver and i have a brand new trans and rear so id like to keep it fuel injected with the TPI. my mechanic was urging me to go to a carb and ditch the computer all together but id rather keep it, i think all i need is a early head style TPI manifold base cuz the motors got the perimeter bolts on the valve covers.

i want to do the following to it
-keep TPI
-ditch the A/C
-keep the serp system
-.....

what else? watta you guys think??

Im going over to a 350 with in the next month and my 87 is already carbed and im keeping it that way. Do whatever you want but yes ditch that a/c. I'd like TPI but im just ganna keep it simple.

im assuming my 700r4 will bolt up to the older block right?

correct.

Any idea what year the heads are from? If they're really early (like pre-'76 or something) they won't have enough holes to install the serpentine belt brackets. The shop teacher at my job discovered that. Other than that, I think you'll be OK with getting the '85-'86 F-body TPI base. Also, L98 Vettes used the same base up till '91, but they don't have EGR - not sure if you need it.
