" The TBI can be relatively easy. Pre 87 2/5L four (maybe later in S-10 
" truck/Blazer?) with dizzy should bolt right on. That's pre OBD, and it 
" will lite the "check engine" light with the dizzy disconnected, so could 
" be trouble for CA guys like you, but since it's the old engine in an old 
" car it should be exempt -- you're just changing the fuel delivery 
" system. The 2.5L 1V TBI is rather large, so you'll need to make a new 
" plate for the 196 intake, but that's no big deal. You could even use a 
" piece of plywood to mock it all up before getting a slab of aluminum. 

just fell across an old posting discussing this, which mentioned the
tbi from a 4-cyl ford had the same base as the 1bbl holleys and
carters we [and iirc mopar and ford] used, making it a bolt-on.

it was talking about running the ford tbi with a gm ecm...

for the 199s and up, i'd prefer a setup based around '80s 258
manifolds.  anyone know of a bolt-on oem tbi?
