Hi All
I have an 80 L82 Corvette with a seized motor and I have a good running TBI 350 from a chevy Blazer.
Can I swap the intake and carb from the L82 on to the TBI motor and use it in the Vette?
Thanks

its done all the time.....
the 82 corvette crossfire were tbi.. but twin single units...
it will work... you do have to install the wiring harness.. computer... the aldl connector so you can access it... be sure to write down and keep the information off the truck... so you can input it into scan tools...
you will also need to install the oxygen sensor..
does your corvette already have a feed back carb set up... if so.. you are already farther ahead... you car is already wired for the harness... you may only have to do some minor mods...
autozone has wiiring diagrams ... for both your corvette and the truck... you will need both engine diagrams...
you also need to swap in some kind of fuel pump... 25 to 29 psi...

No
What I am asking is..........can I take the TBI unit off the good motor and install the intake and carb from the L82 motor?
I don't want to convert the Vette to TBI, I want to install the intake and carb and go. Try to keep it simple.
Thanks

you can swap it to a carb if you want but the it will lag in some spots. To get rid of that you need a cam kit. untill you do its going to have less power. now what you could do is put the heads lntake and carb off get a cam kit and roll out. but thats just me.
