Question about Fuel injection for C3 vettes
would it be possible and feasable to get a carb fed vette and upgrade it to a fuel injection system? If so would I be able to buy the FI system from any chevy 350?

DPFI is about the most desirable single mod you can do to your engine, it not improves driveability, but fuel economy will damn nearly double....
well worthwhile project, especially for a street driver...
you can get junkyard connectors and wire from old harnesses from any GM car, and do your own TPI conversion....1227730 is a good computer to use, run it with a aftermarket cal pak....
see sig file, I did it....

I have a Holley Projection TBI system on mine. I did the conversion about 7 years ago. On a stock engine, this is not a bad system, improved cold cranking, drivability, and economy. Would definately do it again.

Re: Question about Fuel injection for C3 vettes (patsnitrovette)
I've closely been watching your guy's TPI mods. The Eldebrock Proejection goes for $1700.00 but the TPI requires a custom harness.
1. Is there a company who makes the harness specifically for C3'S.
2. What sort of machining are we talking about.
