YES, a very popular swap, fits under stock/flat hoods too, use a speed density system....much easier intake plumbing....

Pre-86 TPI intakes will be a direct swap, 87 + will need modifications of the center intake bolts.

Not to hijack the thread but where would one find a TPI to fit a 1982 C3?

You just need to buy one that came off a 85-86 Corvette, Camaro, or Firebird if you want it to bolt right on no modifications.
Or take a 87-92 TPI and enlarge the center bolt holes on the manifold and it will work as well.
I have my complete TPI set-up off my 82 listed in the for sale section btw

Any TPI intake originally from a Corvette will fit. It's the Camaro and Firebird TPI intakes after 86 that must be redrilled. I have a complete setup for sale too.
