Purchasing advice

[Mudd92]

Hey guys, I wanted to just start a quick thread in here for some help. My boss has a 86 Chevy Scottsdale (305/auto/2wd) Its actully in really good shape, a few cosmetic issues, dash is cracked up, and the only piece of rust I can find is on the bottom wheel well there is about 2 bubbles I can prob grind off and fix. Its 2 owner and he knows the orig. owner. And its a reg cab short bed.

something I dont understand, the tag says the truck was assembled in 10/85 in Canada. I thought they didnt put tbi on till 87? This truck has TBI.

How hard is it to take all the TBI stuff OFF and put a carb on? I want to swap in a built 454, drop it, paint it, and play with it some. I will leave the motor in it alone until i either did a 350 or 454 but its not hard to swap to CArb is it?

Thanks.
