tbi only came in 2 barrel. Your local vatozone will have an adapter plate on the shelf if you're so inclined to go that way.

And if they don't it looks like there's a guy that makes fancy ones over on binder planet.

Got to get them apple bins out of the orchard somehow.....

:lol:


That and the binderplanet FAQ on TBI swaps is considered one of the best on the net no matter the engine.

I have a whole Affordable Fuel Injection kit that would be perfect for you, adapter plate and all. I got it from Jimmy her on PP: http://www.peakputters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2992

I sold the Chevy and no longer have any use for it.

Dale, Bill Hamilton seems to be a moderate genius when it comes to FI. I think he's figured out stuff the factories missed :wink:


Paul, who's that aimed at, me or Dale? You're tempting me, except for the fact I have a 727 to get rebuilt :(

The chip for the kit that Paul has is tuned for a small block engine with a stockish cam profile. It worked on my 304 well enough, but the cam was a little too lump and the associated vacuum drop caused it to act a little strange in "stall saver" mode. With a stock or very mild cam and a nice tight engine with no vacuum leaks, this kit is boobs/beer. . .goooooood. 8)

You're basing the term "small block" on displacement, right :mrgreen:

I would suspect this setup would actually work well for a bigger CI engine that runs a lower RPM range. Vacuum would be higher, and peak air flow requirements would be similar. These kits dont care what RPM you are running.

Well, if'n I can talk the boss into it, it'll be on a Binder 345 that runs out of air at around 4K. Only will swallow about 400cfm max...
