| | | Re: V-8 swaps | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 960 old hand | old hand Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 960 | I did the v-8 swap. 305. had to buy mounts from a web parts site. The engine was free and bolted up to the 700r4. I switched the 2 chips on the astro puter and it runs great. Used the chips from the g-20 doner that the 305 was in. G-20 was a 90 and stro is an 88. Both are TBI. I have over size tires though so gas milage isn't great. Only problem is that it shifts late. Thinking of putting in a 350 turbo. Was an easy swap. Definatly more power!! They are fun but if you have a good running 4.3, stick with it ....

I sent the entire engine side of the harness to http://www.jimsperformance.com/ and they sent it back with a new computer and all the necessary wiring to plug up to the injectors and it works great. There are stand alone systems from painless and other wiring companies that will also work with this swap. The advantage to the stand alone system is you can put your TPI motor in whatever vehicle you want. If you need any detail feel free to email me; Munzvan@aol.com
