Tbi swap build thread

[mcbassin]

Hi guys this is a great thread thanks CJRacing for starting it and all the others that have added to it. My son and I are diving into this swap out well kinda. The plan is to remove the motor and tranny in tact and plug it into the 86.Thread here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=356697 So far we have unhooked just about all the wiring and mechanical on the donor. I will be junking the car when done so I can keep the complete wiring harness if necessary.

I noticed pretty much everyone on here is using a 87-90 truck or aftermarket tbi harness. I picked up a 92 buick 5.7 with a 700r4 (i think) for $300 on craigslist to put into my Son's 86 swb. It runs and shifts good...we drove it home with the AC on. Anyway, this is a super low buck build just to get him a driveable truck and then sell later to invest in his 69 (we are probably gonna do a 5.3 conversion on it). Or if we stay hooked up on it he may just drive them both who knows?

So here is my list of questions for now:
1. Can we use the car harness and ecm ?
2. What parts will we need to buy?
3. What is the K.S. talked about on this thread?
4. I have never even touched a tbi engine until yesterday
Can we do this project? I haven't worked on trucks since the 90s.
