Periodically use of the GM TPI small block in our old trucks comes up. I
like the gas mileage and hp numbers off of these engines but would really
prefer something that looks retro. . .
. . .I notice that the March issue of Classic Trucks has an article on an
engine build that includes a unit from Street and Performance that is pretty
close to what I had in mind. It looks a little like the 57-62 version of the
Vette mechanical EFI. . .too bad they didn't do the 63-65 units as they
would've much prettier. The intake inlet is on the front like the 85-91 TPI
units and not on the left side like the old vettes, but it's close.
