okay so i recently cracked the block on my 94 k1500 with the 5.7 350 tbi. i bought a 350 off of a 89 trans am and i believe that it is an l98. only thing it needs is an intake and i was wondering if the intake and throttle body will bolt up to the l98 instead of switching the ecm and all to a tpi

The tbi intake should match right up. Pretty sure it's an l98. Better motor and has a roller cam, better heads

The intake made good torque too. Much more compared to TBI, not sure on it vs vortec intake.

well i wish i could keep the tpi intake off the l98 but it was the only thing missing off the motor and if i bought a new one i would have to get a new harness and ecm

Yeah bummer. I actually had that setup for sale minus the ecm. Sold the harness and still have the complete intake
