Carbureted heads and intake on a TBI 350

Stevea100m · Feb 9, 2016

Hey guys, still a little new to these TBI 350s so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. What I am trying to find out is would the heads off of a carbureted chevy 350 with a carbureted intake work on a TBI engine? I have a set of Camaro heads from the mid 80's I had on my 84 1500 that are still in good shape and I was thinking since the TBI heads do not flow that well then I could swap those on and do a cam and intake at the same time. Suggestions?

Should work -

You'll want to get a carb to TBI adapted to use the carb intake. www.tdperformance.com

THats what I was hoping to hear. I'm assuming that After I swap it would probably be a good time to do a tune.

What are the heads? Do you know the casting number? Are they 350 heads? 305 heads?

I dont have the casting number but they are 350 heads. They were on my Chevy 355. I believe their 1.94 valves

I'm asking because they may or may not be better than your tbi heads believe it or not. Maybe better if they're iron L98 heads, may likely be worse if they're 882 or 993 smogger heads.

Ah I will have to check tomorrow but If I remember correctly I think they came off of a Z28

Well if I ran these numbers correctly and I think I did they are 991

Do you have a picture of the casting number>?

I will try and get a good pic tomorrow of it
