Question motor tpi

i've pulled the motor out and now want to put the new one in, only problem is i didn't mark all the parts when i pulled it. what should i do? scrap the tpi and go carb. i've been thinking about putting a carbed motor in it with a roots blower do you think it can be done and still pass mass. emisions.

for your emissions do you have to pass a sniffer or do you also have to pass a visual inspection?

i'd go carb if i were you...tpi is really restrictive anyway. you'll get more power outta the carb setup.

what kind of car? Specs? yeah, you would never pass the visual, but i am sure you would pass the sniffer with some work

If you decide to sell it shoot me a price...I need a good chassis for my 355/T-56/9-bolt because the body of my '91 has about $4k worth of damage due to being sideswiped by an 18-wheeler.

now when u say u didnt mark all the parts and stuff like that,what do u mean? r u talkin about the wire connectors and stuff like that? if its those your talkin about,its not impossible to figure out b/c i think all the connectors are different and can only plug into what they are supposed to. as for the brakets and everything,it just takes some trial and error to fingure it out....dont be in a rush...good things come w/ time...
