[Gmecm] Chevy 350 Carburated to TBI / TPI?

[Chris Reynolds]

I would use a TBI harness from a later model 1993-1995 Vehicle and use a 4L60E.   That way you can burn your own chips and adjust the shift points accordingly.   2.46:1 with OD is not a problem in a lighter vehicle with relatively short tires (aka Hotrod).   My Cadillac had a 307/2004r/2.53 gears.  My Fullsize van has 3.08 gears with its TBI 350/700r4 combo.   The new Nissan Titans will run about 1,600 rpm @ 60 mph in their top OD of their 5 spd automatic and return better than 20 mpg on the highway with their 5.6 liter V8.   The 350 TBI makes great low-speed torque and will cruise all day just off-idle.  I can pull some pretty good hills at 45 mph in OD with the converter locked in the Van.

Hello Jake , I will use the 350 auto presently in my 33 Dodge truck , as it 
only has some 3-5,000 since rebuild an works OK . Eventually I will add a 
700 R4 ,with a lock-up torque converter , and another rear ratio , as the 
present Duster 2:46:1 will not hndle the OD trans. , as I would have to get up to 
75 for it to kick in , so that's no good in the City driving scenerio .

I want to try and use the 69 corvette intake , if possible with an adaptor 
for the TBI . Do you think this will work ??
I will begin to look for a 1988-92 GM an or Pick-up truck for a donor 
vehicle . Pull all parts needed and transfer them to my 33 Dodge Truck . Do you 
think that Walter Chjrysler will object to ELECTRIONICS on a 33 Dodge Pick-em 
up ?? WOW what a great time we all live in today , now if we could just 
resolve the crazy Iraq situation and bring our Guys and Gals back home to America 
.Such a gross loss of Lives for those poeple who have never known where they 
are going or been .

have a nice week-end , and thank you very much for your kind help to this 
Old Man .

Do you know of a road map for TBI conversion online ??

Thanks

Bob Norville
