Swap meet is April 9-10-11. I reserved 4 spaces.
Unsolicited opinion alert: As for the TPI, they are great for trucks and street-rods. In stock form, at least. They have long, small runners that are great for producing low-end torque but tend to hit the wall around 4500rpm. This will likely be the weak point of your engine build. They can be made to run hard in the upper RPMs if you upgrade the base, runners, injectors and throttle body :lol: . Don't get me wrong -- I love EFI but the TPI system is what it is. If you want a low speed cruiser you'll love it. If you want a performance oriented street car you may be farther ahead to sell the TPI to a street-rodder and use the money toward a good carb and intake. You can always upgrade to a more appropriate EFI system later. This may be an alternative when the time comes:

Oh yeah I'm aware of some of the restrictions on the TPI setup, I will massage it a bit to squeeze what I can from it but this is kind of to get my feet wet setting up an EFI system myself. I have a real nice Edlebrock intake that I can put on instead if I want with one of the Quadrajets rebuilt.

I will try and get down for the swap meet, the next school term will be started by then so it depends on things there of course.
