Dumb question

87 plain Jane coupe i guess you call them 350 tuned port. Tune port is gone but motor is good I know nothing about these is it worth up grading the power not sure what mains or compression is on these I have a bunch of small blocks but like to use the original if I can but know nothing about vette insides I guess you can say what is your opinion???

If the TPI is gone and it were my car I would probably switch over to carburetor and new intake. The L98 engine is generally a 2 bolt mains.

You have a standard Gen I small block and can treat it accordingly.
