Engine swapping issues...
I am currently in the process of swapping engines in my '93 c1500. I pulled the stock 350 and bought a pre 1980 350 with 290hp from crateenginedepot.com. I am looking to keep my ECM and TBI and 4L60E due to cost reasons. The company I purchased my engine from says that it calls for a pre 1980s intake.
My question is this: Can I simply purchase a performance intake (preferably Edelbrock) made for use with a 4bbl carb and install an adapter to make it work for a 2bbl TBI. I have seen adapters like that fpr sale on TCI's website for about 50 bucks.
Also, will this adapter decrease the hp that might be gained from a performance intake. And does anybody know where I can find a good deal on performance TBI and one that is of good quality?
Thanks in advance for all of your help...
