Mpfi v6 to tpi 350
I know I seen a thread on here before but after searching for a while I couldn't find it again. I need info on what wiring harness changes I need to make to switch from an 89 maf v6 to an 87 maf tpi. I don't know if it makes any difference but the tpi motor is an aluminum headed corvette motor.

Re: Mpfi v6 to tpi 350
Thinking I should have posted this into electronics instead of motor swap... Still having trouble finding what I need to change. I'm very new to efi but what I have found is
1. I need to splice an additional injector on each side
2. Might need to extend wires for tps, maf, etc
Is that all harness wise that would need changed?
What do I need to do computer wise?

I'd suggest finding an 89 tpi harness on the classified boards. Way easier. Use then a 89 '165 ecm and prom

I figured it would but I don't mind if its difficult. I can spend time on it but according to the wife I can't spend much more money on it.

Re: Mpfi v6 to tpi 350
So I guess those are the only harness alterations needed?
