Why do you want TPI? The factory form of TPI is far from a performance piece. Its long runner design chokes a 350 by roughly 5000 RPM. If EFI is really what you want, get a Stealth Ram or something like that. The LT1 intake swap is another choice.
If you TRULY want TPI, it would be easiest to find a donor car. You will need sensors, a harness, a new distributor (remote coil, not coil-in-cap), new ECM, just to name a few. The biggest hastle i can see would be the fuel pump.
