I have a 1988 chevy suburban that my kids and I built a body for , lacking a better term, a bonding experience. The original 350 motor has spun a main bearing.
I picked up a 1988 firebird that was built and raced on the 1/4 strip. It has rebuilt, 1980 350, that originally came out of a corvette according to the engine id stamp. It is complete with valve covers, decked out with chrome parts, a billet aluminum distributor with an Accel hei supercoil and a 2 speed power glide transmission.
My plan so far is to have the ecu tuned and eliminate the egr system so I can use the shorty headers that are on the engine. Purchase an adapter plate from ebay to be able to run the tbi on the 4" edelbrock carberated manifold. Some years ago I put a high flow cat , single muffler to 3 inch dual exhaust that I plan on keeping by adapting the h pipe to the shorty headers.
Is there any big stumbling blocks to this plan? Will I be able to swap flex plates so I can use my existing 700r4? Are the oil pans and pickup tubes interchangeable? Will I have problems with oil pressure and water temperature sensors?
Thanks in advance.
