Tpi in a 67' ?
 

new to the forum and was wondering if anybody has put a Tpi engine into a 67-72 truck ? the engine is out of a camaro and i have the entire car to strip parts out of...any help photo's or advise would be awsome.

Shouldn't be any problem. You'll need the computer and wiring harness. Tap in to the curent wiring and do a "stand alone" set-up for the TPI.

not too hard i got a tpi from an 89 iroc so i threw the engine and 700r4 in there. bought a speed density computer call mike at eficonnection in pennsylvaina....his harness is excellent and best bang for the buck. cheapest price i found in this country. then get your prom for speed density and plug in and go....from your tpi harness you only have 2 connect 3 wires 1 to fuel pump 1 to a power then 1 for ignition switch. its pretty simple....you dont have to go speed density but its easier i think its better and cheaper because you dont need a MAF sensor or air ducts. would post pics but it says they too large you can see the pic though in my avatar

i dont want to buy a ready made harness so i need to jerk the engine harness,and computer outa my iroc and figure out wich wires go where and then i should be good ? another thing the engine is a 305 and i was wanting to do a 350 or a 327 or possibly a 302....would the computor properly run these engines ? i would like to run flat top's,headers and a small cam would that be possible ? and could you elaborate on the (prom ?) for speed dencity and why i wouldn wanna run a MAF sensor ? lots of questions i know...

I had an 86 IROC. I pulled the computer, harness, and TPI system out and put it on my 350. Two websites helped me a lot:
www.jagsthatrun.com
www.chevythunder.com
I used the existing harness, but cut all the stuff off I didn't need. The Helms manual for the 86 IROC helped a TON on this part. The manual was about $70 but was well worth it. I learned a lot about the TPI system from that manual.
Since I was going from a 305 to a 350 I bought bigger injectors. I also had my chip reburned by Brian at www.tpichips.com. I told him what I was running, and he made the chip work for me.
There are a ton of threads on the board on TPI. Do a search. TPI may be a bit short for a search though, I will try a google search and see what I can scare up for you.

Here are a couple threads I found. I know there are many more though.

I am in the process of putting a TPI & 700r4 in my '70. I am going to try and do the wiring myself but I am just getting started on that. If you are going to do any modifications to the engine I think you will have to use the MAF setup. Speed Density isn't real friendly with engine mods... There is nothing wrong with a 305, I would go ahead and use it. I will see if I can find a thread or two on here that might help.

I also bought a booklet off of e-Bay that has a lot of good info in it. I will see if I can locate the auction again.
