[QUOTE=1mpalss;1573277435]Finally put the TPI'd ZZ4/700R4 in the 70! As you can see, I've got a lot of wires to hook up. I'm going to use relays from the IGN wire to trigger power for the injectors, O2's, and ECM (though the ECM also gets Battery power). I've got to wire up a solenoid for the NASCAR starter - it's only got a positive battery power post. Also have to figure out the A/C and cruise control hookups. A small-cap HEI would actually be nice!


Accessories are 1990 vintage C4.

What are most guys giving for a TPI setup....intake, runners, computer, wiring, etc? Trying to determine how much I should sell mine for.

I haven't looked lately, but I would guess $500 or less for intake complete, distributor, computer, and f-body harness.

I'm toying with pulling the complete intake setup and selling it as a TPI swap kit....and then buying an intake manifold and converting the engine to a carb setup and selling it as well. Might be money ahead that way. Should work, yes?

Been following this. I have a complete setup, thinking of swapping into my 82, but I'd like an in tank pump, since i have an in tank pump now. Is there one that i can replace the pump i have now with?
