OK, I'm sure this has been gone over a million times, but my search turned up nothing! I suck at searching anyway.

I have a 1976 350 and was wanting to put a TBI setup from a newer motor on it. Is this possible? What should I be looking for in a donor setup?

The motor is recently rebuilt with a 10.25:1 compression ratio. I don't think it puts out more than 300 hp, but it could. I don't know for sure since it's never been dynoed and have not driven it yet.

it is possible but you need all of the sensors and an engine control module from a donor truck. Wiring harnesses are necessary also. Might be easier just to get a kit from Edelbrock or a Holley ProJection kit

I'm not worried about easy. I'm worried about $$$! :(

I am in the process of doing the same conversion. Went to a junk yard got the intake throttlebody and ECu with prom out of a 91 for 200.00 dollars. Call centech wiring for the harness they run about 350.00. Do not use painless they are far from there name. Hope this helps.
