how to convert electronic carb to 350 TBI??
ok heres what i want to do. I have an 85 iroc with the stock 305 motor with the computer controlled quadrajet carb. That motor is very tired, but I have an 87 350 bored .040" over which i am rebuilding. I also have a complete TBI setup out of a 91 305 camaro(all still on motor). I want to put the TBI setup on the rebuilt 350 and drop that into the 85 iroc. I dont want to go TPI so dont worry about that but i do want some sort of Fuel injection. anyways ok, I know i'll have to put a fuel pump in the tank of the iroc to feed the tbi, I also know ill need to swap out the 2 injectors from the 305 to ones from a 350, out of a truck i assume i could get those. I just need to know if i have to have the chip reburned for the 350 instead of the 305, i assume i will. but other than that i think everything will be straight forward. I have the complete uncut tbi harhess, comp, and sensors still so thats all fine. and running an extra return fuel line is no problem. I just want driveability with this car, some power but not an all out race car, anything more than the old 305 now would be fine.
if i decide its not worth doing the tbi swap, i'll end up just throwing in the 350 or one of 2 305s i have with a holley carb and hei distributor instead. ah itll still be many months before this swap takes place so we'll see...maybe tpi is an idea, i dunno..
