  • engine swap help!

    ok here it goes as u all know i just bought a 1985 trans am,well i have a 89 formula parts car equipped with a 305 tbi my car has a 4 bbl 305 but it has a knock how hard would it be to turn the tbi to a carbed engine and mount it in my trans am , as much info as possible would help plus a aftermarket carb and intake would be ordered and mounted on the tbi engine.

    thank you!

      well im thinkin since its a tbi setup i just pull the tbi system and the intake and swap it for some holley or edelbrock because its injected through the top of the engine instead of having injectors

        Not hard, If you're going to buy an intake and carb just yank the motor and take off the tbi and intake and put the new intake on and drop it in, simple as that. Should be pretty much the same motor otherwise. With no tbi you don't the the computer. Very simple and easy swap.

            Should not be a problem. It is a "remove" and "insert" procedure as OT said.
