Can I put my intake manifold from my 1979 350 engine on my 1988 350(TBI) engine? I am swapping a motor from a 1988 Suburban in to my 1979 Blazer. It has to be smog legal .

yes you can.

you will need to make the center two holes on each side oblong to allow the bolts to even get close to making contact, and then you may have to spot face the manifold to allow the bolts to seat correctly.

it can be done, though.

It isn't a straight bolt in. It can be done, but turning that thing into a rocket ship and flying to the moon can also be done. I would just buy the intake made for that swap. Much easier.
