90 truck with 86-87 Corvette engine

[Slowrooster89]

So I've come across another dilemma in my mind. I'm wondering if I could use the factory Corvette distributor that came with the motor instead of switching out with my 305 distributor. If I can wire it in and make it work I will.
Or if it's best to go with my original dizzy then I'll do that.
90 TBI truck w/ 305 factory
Now 86-87 L98 from Corvette.
Keeping the TBI. Not switching to TPI.

For ease use the 305 dist. What fuel system does the Corvette motor have?

If you are not going TPI then stick with the truck's dizzy.

It would be a shame not to update to the TPI if you have everything.

It really wouldn't.

It really wouldn't.

So......better torque, overall better efficiency, equal length intake runners, port injection, are all somehow NOT worth upgrading to? So, I guess the LS engines also are NOT worth upgrading to since they have all those things and then some??

I'm so confused right now.

personally I would do a tpi swap way before a ls swap to me the tried and true sbc and bbc is where it is at now ls engines do have there place but imho since they make their power up higher in the rpm range compaired to the older style engines I am not a fan of them unless I was building a play truck but for working or offroad no ls for me but I do agree with your post

I also see Supercharged111s point and it is not wrong what I think he means is that the op should keep it simple

The TPI is only good at midrange, it sucks at everything else.

Right where you spend most of your time driving it.
