carb intake on tbi

I would like to know what I would need to do to put an edelbrock 7101 rpm performer intake on a 92 LO5, beside drilling the 4 angled center holes. The edl intake has no egr provisions but am putting throttle body on with adapter. Cant mess with prom, have no burning equipment or anyone who does, and cant buy it. Or will it even be worth the hassle to put that intake on it with tbi...I do have a new edl 750 carb I could rob off my truck, would the carb be better?

if you want to stick the carb on it, you need another distrib.

the light would come on, but i think you can hack it together so that you COULD go back to stock.


for you to do the carb or the tbi swap, you also need some form of bracket to mount the thottle and TV cable.

btw, if its just a toy, put the carb on it...

its more power anyway.... athough you need to tune it and work it out. and you MIGHT loose some MPG if your TBI isnt operating perfectly.... then again, you might gain some.. heh.
