First off, great site I must say.
I have a 1986 K30 with the 7.4L. It has all the smog equipment from the factory. I was entertaining the thought of doing the TBI swap. My only previous experience with the GM TBI was on my long gone 1987 V2500 Suburban. I really enjoyed the benefits of the TBI while 4 wheeling up at 10-12,000 feet here in Colorado. That is my main reason for wanting to do the swap in the first place. It would also be nice to not have to go through my starting ritual every morning...
I was hoping that someone may have some experience here with the in's & outs for this scenario in Colorado. More specifically, can I ditch the smog equipment and swap over the TBI stuff from a 87' or newer 454?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
