305 carb to 305 tbi have both motors

I got a 88 iroc z28 in good shap cheap. the motor thats in it is a 305 tbi but smokes bad all the time changed plugs wires an thicker oil still smokes an slugish.maybe rings.
im low on cash so cant Do a rebuild

so i have a 305 carb in my back yard that has been rebuilt a year ago.
what i want to do is pull the smoker out an drop the 305 carb in but want it tbi.
can I just swap everything form the tbi motor to the carb to make it tbi. im low in cash i just want running car that i can drive with out foging up everyone an being pulled over.
