92 305 TPI conversion?

[usamuscle892]

What exactly is meant by a TPI conversion? (see attached pic) I have the 305 in my 92 RS and would like to drop a LS1 or LT1 in it but dont have the $$$. So.... I am doing what I can with what I have. I have ordered alot of parts from F-body Motorsports in North Carolina and on their site they have this pic with caption "TPI Conversion Parts" under it. Seems like (in the picture) I am looking at a different intake manifold with the intake runners, but am I? I dont know, some one look at this pic and explain what is meant by TPI Conversion please. Thanks alot!

That looks to be a picture of the plenum, runners, intake manifold, throttle body, fuel lines, and fuel rail. It doesn't look like it's been taken apart either so the egr valve is probably underneath all of that aswell. That's pretty much all of the parts you need to do a swap other than the wiring and the ecm.

you'll also need a new fuel pump. The stocker for the TBI will not provide enough pressure. I believe Dewynter(spelling) is selling a complete set. You might want to PM him.

Go to Thirdgen.org they have a good link for instructions.

Thanks Guys

Thanks for the input! I really appreciate all the help but even if I went used on some parts it would be worth and just swapping for a LS1 after 2 years of saving (I'm only 16). Go ahead, breathe a sigh of relief. I am one less punky kid to worry about driving a civic (or any import) with a coffee mug-looking exhaust and double decker wings. I hate all that crap! NO BOTTLE, ALL THROTTLE!
