I started this thread regarding transplanting and entire TBI system into my '84 Caprice. Now I want to go back to the for a moment... What are some things or problems I may run into. I don't know if anyone here has ever turned a carbureted engine into a TBI engine. Since the truck also had a 4L80, will the computer be "confused" no longer being hooked up to a transmission?
So, you're using the '92 for the engine source?

I am not sure about the 4L80E circuitry. You may want to use that engine with an older PCM, say from an '89 or '90 9C1 or other 350-powered car.

As for Fram, they let way too much stuff get by them. Plus, as others have noted, the drainback valves don't always function as designed. AC Delco All the Way.

I'm also considering converting my car to EFI as well - I'm going to try to stick with the 9C1/Caprice 5.7 stuff.
