Default TPI setup

ok,ive been looking arounda nd i want to do a TPI setup to my engine that im (slowly) building

its an 86 350
its got head casting number (14011083)
not really sure if thats needed,but im going to do a t-5 swap as well,what ive understood is its only used on an auto tranny,how can i make this work withought using the auto?

does anyone have a link to doing this swap?

and something about an anti theft device?

mainly just looking for some direction here

Unless you already have a 305 TPI car with all the parts.A swap of a 350 and to a TPI is going to give you endless problems and more money then it is worth.

Is there any reason you are trying to go Fuel injection? It would be much cheaper to run a carb set up. Also i would not waste your money on a T5 swap.

You will need more then just the wiring hardness if your going into another car. The list could go on & on and it is not cheap.
Put a carb on it at a lot less money.

i like taking corners


ya, im throwing my 350carb into a late 80's mazda rx7 that ive had sittiting around,and for the 5 sp,its better to have a manual in atuocross/drifting anyways


i just need to get the system to work,i dont need speed sensors etc,i already have all that worked out,just need to go FI,or a carb that can tak a assload of hard cornering

Carb technology has come a long way in the last 15 years. A good carb set up will work great even in the twisties. I have a friend with a 350 swap in a 2nd gen and its a fun little car. But you need to stay away from the T5 its crap to start with and will be useless to you.
