Need engine swap advice -1986 Monte Carlo Ls

[L67ss]

I was going to say FPR if keeping the stock fuel system or new tank, sender, etc if converting to mechanical. The stock V6 exhaust will bolt up to SBC manifolds?

He goes tbi stock fpr is fine. And if correct manifolds yup

Truck manifolds bolt up

I stand corrected then. Those TBI engines are a dime a dozen around here.

I have a 1990 C1500 pickup with a 350 I bought new. I parked it under a tree in south Texas before I went to college. It sat under the tree for 24 years. I got "curious" a few years ago and decided to see if it would run. I had to patch a few wires and replace the plug wires that the rats chewed. I cleaned the gas tank, blew the two injectors out with carb cleaner, and replaced the battery. Fired right up.

I actually prefer TBI over vortec

You do sound serious,hmmm...

Bout $500 max for the combo used

Judging by the fact someone disagreed with this sounds like they need to shop around. I hate Ls motors with a passion. Nothing I drive will have one. But....one perk of the Ls crazei s older motors have drastically dropped in price. In fact a good source for a used SBC and trans in good shape cheap is shops known for Ls swaps. Tend to have SBCs piled up

If you're referring to the spider injectors, I agree.

I just had a great idea for my Vortec. I'll get the Jeg's carbureted intake to fit Vortec heads and then use an adapter plate to put the TBI on it. I'm sure I'll need a tune to run a larger cam though.
