I see there a lot of kits for swapping from carbs to EFI,so I figured this should be about the same,except I already have TBI.Have just started looking into it for a project in the fall.Was just wondering if anyone had done this.Thanks

What are you swapping to?  A carb?

No if I swap it will be to a newer TBI or EFI,all this depends on the rebuild mentioned,it could answer most everything.Thanks

to gain the full benefits of a tbi tpi or any efi you should also do a top swap heads and all. why go only halfway
