Default Identifing TPI motor

I bought a 76 Jag with a 350 TPI motor in it and was wondering if it could be transplanted into my 78. Can anyone tell me what car this motor came out of? The stamping numbers under the alternator are.

VO331SNA
1H\ /34017

How would this work in my Vett?


Thanks for the help

Andy Anderson

First off it would work well in your vette,have you definitely found out its a 350 though,the 305 and 350 tpi look identical,somebody should be able to figure out the numbers for you and see what it is.Also if you look at the runners see if theres a 9th injector going into the bottom of the drivers side runner.Also look to see where the fuel lines come into the tpi drivers side the tpi is from a firebird or camaro ,if they are on the passenger side its from a corvette.
