What do I need for TBI 350 engine swap?

Hey guys,

I have my '72 C10 almost completely stripped to the chassis and starting to get some things together for the rebuild. I'm completely rebuilding my truck but on a pretty tight budget, Its an original 350 truck that but I just took a 305 out of it. I came across a pretty good deal on a decent running TBI 350 out of a 87 truck with a Turbo 400 bolted to it.

What else would I need out of that truck to do a clean swap into mine? Would it just be as simple as pulling the wiring harness and ECM and buying an inline fuel pump? I have a 600 holley carb and intake, so would it be easier/cheaper to swap the TBI to run a carb or do a bit of wiring for my truck to run the TBI?

Also, there shouldn't be any issue with running the TH400 trans in my truck, correct?

Fuel millage and emissions don't bother me, I just want a reliable engine that won't be super hard to maintain and tune, with a bit better performance than the 305.

Any input is appreciated!!

Thanks!
