Re: 5.7 TBI in an 86????? Anyone done this swap??

the fuel pump is easy. its actually a low pressure pump. it is electric but only 15psi. as a matter of fact go find at 86 or 87 truck with tbi and steal the tank out of it and u will have a bolt in deal. just look at some trucks with that setup on it to get a good idea of the wiring. its fairly simple just need to run the powers etc to the proper places. just be very careful when you take the harness out of the car not to break anything and keep track of all grounds to ensure they all get hooked up in the truck. pull all the plastics and radiator etc out of the car pull the fan off and the serpentine brackets just make sure u get all the bolts out. the bolts are all in the same places as all of the older sbc's tho holes on the block and a couple on the heads. drop the tranny crossmember and the engine and trans should come out as a unit. they will definately go into the truck in one piece lots easier to deal with that way.
