Yetilikesbeer answered 4 years ago Yes. I've been trying to research a cheaper faster method but I have not been successful. The issue is the intake manifold. Since the vortec heads are better than the ones used on the TBI engine there is nobody that I can find that builds vortec MPFI intakes that will bolt up to the older style heads. This would be the fastest repair for sure. If you are handy and careful this can be done diy.

The 383 in my profile pick was the first one I did a top end on, followed the instructions and it was good (the first set of heads were cracked though not my fault). Yetilikesbeer answered 4 years ago Free is good.

I could use it?? The only other options are a wee bit redneck. (FYI Your PCM runs your motor and tranny). 1.) You could install the '88 motor and computer and retain your PCM to run the tranny. This would work but it would be a nightmare to get everything to work.

2.) Swap the '88 to a carb and retain your PCM to run the tranny. 3.) Buy fuel rails and injectors and mount onto your TBI intake, gut the TBI and use as the trottle body (modify TPS and IAC wiring).
