    TBI350 to L31 swap. I'm told close to impossible.

    I actually list that as an option, my point is if he wants an easy swap and have it run correctly without tuning/buying anything swap the oil burning short block for the Vortec one but keep everything else from the old motor.

    TBI350 to L31 swap. I'm told close to impossible.

    Easiest way to do this just swap short blocks but use the TBI heads, intake, FP, WP and accessories. The roller cam is probably even worth a few HP. Have the Vortec heads checked for cracks and either sell them and the Vortec accessories and intake, or when you have time and money get a carb or...

    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    The 307 in my Nova ran strong but it had aftermarket cam, intake, 600 carb, headers, and some 1.94 valve heads.

    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    305 Vortec makes a little less tq than a TBI 350 but a little more HP so yeah if you have some Vortec 305 heads and have a roller block you can upgrade then go for it.

    Code 32 with a high flow exhaust.

    If it is running fine I would not worry about it, maybe a tuner could eliminate EGR like on the 96+ trucks.

    305 vortec heads and factory intake on old block??

    My 73 Nova had a 350 and the sky roof(which leaked and the engine blew) really love those years 68-79, I owned several.

    305 vortec heads and factory intake on old block??

    It might not be the original engine in that 77 and i believe roller cams were 88. Check the casting #s to find out.

    Oil Filters with good anti-drainback valves?

    My last oil change was with the usual Wix filter that was made in USA I believe in Illinois. They also made the Bosch one, I think exactly the same as Wix/Napa Gold and I bought quite a few on Amazon, so look for that filter too while they are still out there.

    90 truck with 86-87 Corvette engine

    If you are not going TPI then stick with the truck's dizzy.

    Keep Manifolds or get shorties?

    Shorties help top end which matters more in Vortecs than TBI, but if you are doing the whole exhaust anyway might as well go for it.

    Has anyone used a Holley 2 Barrel on TBI adapter plate

    If you are going old school HEI/Carb just get an intake manifold from Edelbrock/Weiand/87-88 Monte SS and put a Holley 4 barrel on it.

    Big mother thumper cam in a 89 350 tbi, is it possible?

    I'm guessing he just wants the sound. I'd look at Isky cams, they have cams that lope but are mild.

    L98 into K1500--> HEADS?

    It's not a 113 head if it is an 87 and original. They had the 128 head, which flows less over the exhaust side, has factory guideplates. If they check out sell them to a Vette owner and buy aftermarket heads., unless you really want a GM al head then send them to Lingenfelter for porting and...
