    Default newbie from iowa

    i am not new to rodding but i have acquired a 90 burb to transform into a badass grocery getter. i don't spend a lot of time cruising the web but this is the first post 72 vehicle i have attempted to modify. i have a donor camaro for engine (350tpi) and the requisite wiring that needs to go with it. i am not a fuelinjection guru so help will be much appreciated. anyone with experience in changing over a tbi to a tpi setup feel free to get a hold of me. it will be bagged to get that perfect stance..no need to lay frame. paint is decided , wheels are not. interior is a toss up, i'll post pix of the build when i find a home for them

    Sounds like someone needs more torque The TPI is the perfect choice. I can help with most questions you have about this motor and swap. Are doing a budget build on the TPI motor or you plan on dropping money into it?
