ok iv got a 1985 monte with a 4.3 tbi in it i just got a brand new 350 vortec crate motor i was told i was from a 99 van im tryin to go the cheepest route to do burn outs down the road with the 350 in it the sbc has a holley carbd intake on it could i get an adapter for the intake and use the 4.3 throttle body and use all the parts on the vortec motor?
 
The cheapest route would be to do a mechanical carb conversion. You'll need a carb, coil on cap standalone HEI dizzy, and a fuel pressure regulator.

If you want to keep the TBI you can get the correct injectors, the adapter for the TB to the carbd manifold, and a v8 dizzy.
 
iv already got bigger injectors from a 454 tbi and it had an adapter already on it and srry to ask but wat is a dizzy? so really i got everything i need i just needed to know if it would all work and wat all i would have to do to make it work

ya i figuered that out after i thought about it lol srry bout that so am i able to use everything from the 4.3 on the vortec motor?
 
Your going to need the Dizzy, cap, rotor, and plug wires obviously. You'll need the heavier injectors you have. You'll need an ecm from a 350 truck and further your going to have to have a chip made for it. Check out tbichips.com.

I believe the only sensor you'll need to change is the knock sensor.
