doesnt matter... the 305 and the 350 TPI are identical, the only thing that was different was was injector size, 305 was 18lbs/hr 350 was 21lbs/hr, other than that there is absolutely no difference between the 2

to the OP: i wouldnt call it a steal, but its not a bad price... but its not really a good one either... ive seen complete sets on ebay (harness and ecm included) that were polished for 1000

you can piece one together youself for about the same price or cheaper, i got lower manifold, plenum, runners, fuel rails, and throttle body for less than 200, and im doing some trading for my ecm and im building my own harness

I'm aware of that. I assumed he meant the entire engine for that price. I've seen just the intake and supporting parts for far less than $750.

Re: tpi

the "deal" youre talking about is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TUNED...fAcce ssories

im probably going to get this myself, i have a few dents in my runners that the freezing method didnt fix

or you could take them to a music shop that repairs instruments, they get crazy ass dents out all the time and they have to be perfect or it wont sound right, so theyre more than qualified to fix a tpi runner
