Hello guys, i am planning to convert my chevy inline 292 to TBI, I did a lot of search and red some articles, I will be using the v8 305 or 350 TBI system What parts I need to take off of the donor’s engine with TBI, wiring harness and the computer. Do I need sensors, which? Change the distributer?
You will need the coolant, MAP, TPS. Sensors, if you have a points distributor then its a real good idea to convert to either HEI or Pertronix either works.
The stock GM computer is not easy to tune without special equipment and the V8 calibration will not run on a 6.
I used a megasquirt to do the conversion in Texas and still have the base tune that will get you running.
Other options are a Holley ECM or on line you can get special modules to all the GM ECM to be tuned.
Cost wise megasquirt in the lowest method but does require some time to read and understand the manual.
With the Holley again it will take some time to learn.
