Converting a Mopar 440 to GM TBI translated

[Jove Malcolm]

as a real quick answer, theres two major TBI units gm made. one was found on
the 4.3's and 305's and 350's. flows like 500cfm or something around there.
Then there is the bigblock TBI unit, with 2" butterflies. this is what all
the aftermarket units are based on.
