87 TA question
A friend of mine has an 87 TA 305 tune port..wanting to swap to 350 ..what are the best options..do you have to change the computer can you get at 3:50 crate engine..not looking for anything crazy just a good driver with a little more power. any information would be helpful..thanks

GM usually used the 305 in the stick cars. At the time, the 350 had more horse but the 305 had more torque. You couldn't get a 350 with a stick. Kind of like when you couldn't get a stick in the Olds powered T/A because the Pontiac had more torque. I'm guessing PMD was concerned about "off the line" bog complaints.

Knock module, prom chip, and injector size are the main differences.

Lots of info on the GM ALDL computers pariticularly DIY EFI. Looking at Ludis' stuff both the 87 F 305 TBI and the 350 TBI used the same computer 1227165 so just would need a different tune.
Think that computer uses a 27C128. Moates.net has the hardware and C.A.T.S. should have the tune. I have a Xtronics programmer. ps Pontiac limited the Pontiac 400 to manual transmission cars because they did not have many of them (79's actually got '78 motors). |
