if u want to remove the computer u will have to get a vacume switch for the trans it is simple to install. the hardest part was the wires that were there for the tbi i cut all but i think 10-12 wires i can check and let u know which ones i didnt cut. a haynes manual will also help u know what to keep. i discarded my guages and made a plate to put auto meter guages in for every thing i dont have ne problems with the car, the trans will bolt right in if ur keepin the 700

Exactly. A 350 TPI swap would be ideal, and fairly easy. I remember a few years back when a guy (David Tuschhoff??) with a blue RS did a TPI swap and had a GREAT detailed write-up about it.

How much money you want to spend? You could rip all the stuff out and get the HSR with the Holley EMC or you could get Accel DFI.
