Okay guys, ive seen alot of threads with conversions and questions from tbi to carb or lsx.
My debate is about my 88 silverados engine. Its got a bad ring or two and smokes. Im still driving it till i kill it out at least but within 2 weeks ill be purchasing an engine.
All the engines i want are cammed up etc but have carberautors. It seems no one builds a 5.7 tbi.
So can i buy a sbc 355 or 383 stroker that is complete pan to carb. And simply swap the intake and carb for my tbi intake and throttle body??
Ive put together a few engines and did some performance upgrades but ive never did a top end swap. so some aspects on motors still amaze me.
I dont see in my head why it wouldnt work. Both are small blocks. Im sure 99% of small block intakes will fit any sbc. Maybe not the heads?
