ok what do you think about turbocharging a TBI motor like a 94 1500 pickup?
my other thought is a 00 or so 5.3l motor.
budget uilds i guess i cant afford an LS motor.
just thoughts running threw all depends on the shell someday also.
gotta get it past the wife first which means hers running first

Ooooohh, a turbo TBI would be different that's for sure. Some decent heads and intake would go a long way toward waking one up.
They sell an Edelbrock TBI intake for Vortec heads.........just saying. lol

It will be very difficult to put enough injector in the dual injector TBI. Money ahead converting to multi port.

POSSIBLY BUT how much would i have to rewire to get that to work?
just say pull the intake and harness from an lt1 or lt4 no wait it would have to be older because of the DIST. those intakes would cover the hole..
older TPI fuel injection manifold would have to be used ,,, right?

You could convert to TPI easy. Same computer with a different chip. I have a TPI unit I'll sell you since I never used it on the wife's truck. All you need after the unit is a harness to convert the injector wiring(Turbo City and a couple other places have it.) and an inline high pressure fuel pump.
