305 tbi into 88 s10 blazer, few ?'s

[notyettoday]

Hey ya'll,

I have a chance to get a nice 88 little blazer for cheap.. only problem is it has the 2.8 (ugh) w/a rod knock. What would installing a tbi 305 in place of the tbi 2.8 involve? would the ecm hook right up or would it be a pita? also, would i have to beef up the front suspension for the bigger motor or would the stock springs take it? i'm not going for performance, i just want a good d/d, and since the 2.8s all seemed to have a rod knock and i have the 305 available, i just want to throw it in stock. thanks for any help
