Default Corvette TPI

there is a Corvette shop not to far from my house, could i use that for my car? Or would it be more of a pain than its worth? I think the guy at the shop told me the only difference is the fuel lines are on the other side... no big deal at all... but lemme know

PS, to those of you who know about my other TPI setup, hes wanting over 700 bucks for it, so i said no.

it should be the same as the camaro. is yours a 305 or 350? if its a 305, make sure you get smaller injectors, down to 19 lb. otherwise, i think theyre the same or damn close. and while youre at it, take the aluminum heads too

no way man, ive already got high comp heads and a 350. Theres no way, unless those vette heads are somethin way better than what i already have, i would swap them.

but thats kinda what i thought, the same unit aside from the fuel lines on the other side, which is a minor problem.

what lb. injectors are on the 350 for a camaro? how about a vette? i was thinking about useing like a 28 lb or something cause i THINK the 350 has 26lb injectors, but i may be wrong.

ah, ok, didnt see the crate engine. i thought you had one, but wasnt positive. hell, if you can get them cheap, ill buy them from you.

since its a crate engine, what was it rated at hp wise? the 22lb injectors would suit a stock engine, but the crate would probably have more lift and gobble more air. id think maybe 24lb or 26lb injectors, depending on cam and valve size increase over the corvette's

well, from the crate it says 345. It may be robbed a bit due to the TBI, it might not, i dont know. But with the full exhaust, im gona guess its about 360 to 375 ish. i dont know though. And i know know anything about the cam unfortunatly. Ill need to get in contact with the builders and see if they have this engine on record with all info
