chevychase · 10-12-2017, 11:15 AM

I have a 1987 Corvette complete running and driving donor car.

I am looking to swap the Corvette motor and auto tranny into a 1995 Silverado SWB that has a blown V8 motor.
Any pointers? I have never tackled anything like this especially a TBI to TPI swap.

Things I THINK I know:

Upgrade Fuel Pump & possibly install fuel pressure regulator
Bypass VATS security system so it will start (Painless has a $70 bypass kit)

Things I Don't know:

Do I use the TPI donor wiring harness, repin TBI harness to TPI or is there a TBI to TPI adapter kit?
Everything damn thing else related to the swap

ANY input would be greatly appreciated!
