you will have to buy a vortec TPI intake base to make it work, everything else will bolt up.

Youre going to need a tune and bigger injectors.

That engine also uses a flat-tappet cam: yuck. Stick with hydraulic roller cams, they're much better in terms of longevity, gas mileage, emissions, and horsepower.
And you should never have to downgrade your car to carb. There arent as many TPI friendly combos out there anymore, since our cars are 20+ years old, but there have been many combos posted on these boards over the years. You just have to open up your wallet.
