I am was wondering if i can put L98 heads off a tpi 350 will work with my stock tbi intake??

 

i wanna say yes...cuz they sell kits to convert tbi to tpi and they dont include heads..... just wondering.... if ur gettin new heads y dont u get older ones and run a carb?

 

Yes you can.

Why would you want older heads just because you are switching to a carb. Do you just love to ditch new technology for whatever junk castings you can find?

sumtimes new stuff is junk. u can find old heads ported for cheap (if thats y hes puttin 98s on it.) and a carb is 10x better then tbi ANYDAY

 

yes

 

you are good to go with the head swap,it will run mush better than the tbi heads,what ever you do i hope you don't put a carb on it!!!!

 

I'm not wanting to spend much money on the engine so i'm keep the stock tb but this guy i know has a set of L98 heads and my tbi heads have burnt valves so i thought i'd put the L98 heads on the engine... thanks for the help - charlie

 

i guess i dont know as much about tbi as i thought. what i do know isn't good?? what is it that u guys seem to like it for? (not bein sacastic, i'm really trying to figure this out?)

 

Holley makes a nice TBI unit that plugs right to the stock wiring ( they also make a 1/4" tall than stock Aluminum Intake)... While you have the heads off this would be a good time to get a little better cam.... that with a custom chip will help you out alot. And maybe later add SLP headers and a flowmaster with K&N filter, and Hell you might even suprise the TPI boys... Goodluck

 

working with what you got,i did this many years ago(1991) 383 shortblock,186 '71 corvette heads 1.94int.1.60ex comp 12-404-4 cam,tbi performer int,454 inj.,home made afpr,hooker headers,2400 stall,3.23 gears,no custom chip,and this lil ol 88 iroc ran 13.5 and got 24mpg(hwy)i changed a few things,zz9 cam,afr heads202/160 1.6rr and full ex.(amer.thunder)then a custom chip cause it did not want to hold idle,it surged till i got the right chip thanks to PERFORMANCE RESOURCE i ran 12.6 with a 1.70 60',2 broken rear ends i was good to go AUSTRALIAN 9bolt
moral to the story is the tbi is fuel efficient,accepts upgrades and runs very well when maintained properly..does it make hp not really but it does make tq very nicely.many guys at www.thirdgen.org (shiftycapone) are having great success as well as a few at www.fullsizechevy.com (airdeano) check em out..
