I had HardcoreZ28 do my engine swap for me. I elected to keep the 305 in my 88TA because I wanted the better gas milage for cruising since I didn't plan to race it.

If you already have a go-fast toy, then put the 305 back into it with the TPI, and just cruise around. Rebuilding the 305 -may- be cheaper than buying a new one. Of course a running used one may be so cheap that folks are giving them away for free. Just get the gaskets and fluids since your ECM is already set up for a 305TPI. You can always rebuild a running 305 later. Of course if you have the engine out, thats the best time to rebuild.

PM HardcoreZ28 for availability. He has his own business www.rpmrestoandcustom.com

Despite the two family vehicles, 3 kids, wife and mortgage, I can finally realize the dream - 88 TA almost all stock... for now. http://www.cardomain.com/id/untameddave Wanted this - , but ended up with this - for free. Can't argue with free.
