87 engine options

Looking in ht ehaynes manual and the 73-87.com it apperas that in 1987 a carburated engine was an option can anyone confirm this???

Or what I mean if I was to swap my 6 for a snotty 350 with a carb would this pass inspectons. I need to pass the gas cap test and visual inspection. I believe they only look for cats. I guess my concern would be changing the tbi would cause a problem. If engines came with carbs I can't see a problem.


I'd like to keep the tbi but I'm worried I would not get it running correctly with the computer. Most i've spoke to locally had trouble with new chips and not running right ect..

I'm not looking for a street stomper but if I find a good deal I like the flexability of picking up an engine and slapping it in there and go.
