Is there a detailed tbi swap thread???
I was wondering what all I will need to get off the 91 suburban for the efi swap to my 86?? Will I have to change out the whole harness including the dash wiring? Will I have to have a electric speedo or can I keep the cable operated and my cluster? Will the tank from the suburban fit the rear of my swb truck?? I am going to use the 350 from the sub also and put a small cam and springs in it. Would it be easier to use the complete sub harness so I can convert to power windows and door locks? I am also converting to the 91 front end so will I need the whole headlight harness? Sorry so many threads, I need a lot of help

Its would be a good idea and i should make life easier Will I have to have a electric speedo or can I keep the cable operated and my cluster? Id put it on it might effect the computer some how Will the tank from the suburban fit the rear of my swb truck?? Not shure i know a blazer will Would it be easier to use the complete sub harness so I can convert to power windows and door locks? Always If you want to have every option the suburban has id take anything it has in wiring. I am also converting to the 91 front end so will I need the whole headlight harness? Sorry so many threads, I need a lot of help That a good one but if ur going to use the dash harness then yes use it cause it will mount right were it was in the burban and save any headaches that come if u mod the stock harness to match a newer harness. Hope this all helps |

As far as the speedo is concerned, isn't the one in the burban cable driven also. My 87 tbi is cable driven. I think the burbans and blazers use the same stuff up to 91 or 92. I maybe wrong but I don't think I am.

Re: Is there a detailed tbi swap thread???
Yep, I'd reccomend bolting the burb's electrical system into your truck. Should be pretty quick and simple to pull off, only needing to remove a few wires for the rear cabin lights, rear heater, tailgate window etc. I imagine they would all have connectors you can just un-plug, so you probally won't have to cut any wires.
If you arn't planning on using the burb's transmission, you will need to change your current transmission to an electric speed sensor. If your truck has a 700r4 as well, it will be very easy to just switch them out, just gotta press the toner ring on, and swap tailhousings. Fuel shouldn't be half bad either, I'd personally reccomend you find an 87 to grab the EFI saddle tank off of, and it's fuel lines. You can bolt a Blazer tank in, but the burb tank will probally be too big.

Bolt the NP241 that you've got onto the SM465. Assuming the NP241 is a 32 spline unit (may be 27 spline) it will bolt directly to your 465 using the 208 adapter, as we went over in your last thread.
Then you've got the proper VSS, and will only need to get driveshafts made. You'll need to get your computer modified to work with a standard. The auto chips (proms) use a park neutral input, while the standard doesn't, and the manual has both different idle speeds, and IAC speeds.

There are a lot of different guys who can re-program your chip for you. I'd personally reccomend Brian at www.tbichips.com though. TBI is one of those annoying setups that is tough to bolt a newer flash chip onto, so you'd need to get the whole setup right down to the UV eraser if you wanted to burn them yourself
