The TPI setup is great for trucks. Great for building torque in the low and midrange. I am slowly picking up parts for a conversion. The earlier TPI intake manifold will bolt to the older heads. Later ones you have to worry about the center bolt holes. As far as the wiring and ECU, I wouldn't worry about the factory items. Newest ones are at least 15 years old and can be brittle. I would look into an aftermarket harness. I don't know how comfortable you are with electronics, but you may want to look into Megasquirt. It would be a lot easier than trying to adapt a factory setup to your ride.
