Hey Jeff
I was wondering about the tuned port 305 with computer swap out of the
IROC. Do you have any info on the required sensors, fuel pump/ relays etc
required to do this swap. How easy is this swap. I have a 350 IROC totaled
and would like to make that swap into my 51 AD. This IROC also has the disc
brake rear end, that I think I can make work in it. I plan on installing
the bolt in front suspension unit from a 73 1/2 ton Chevy P.U. with cross
member and motor mounts.

I know you didn't inquire about this but I thought I would add some
additional information on my drivetrain and my choices there. I had a 1985
IROC Camaro that was totaled. So, I took the Tuned Port Injected 305 and
700R4 tranny out of it and put it in my 56 TF. Computer and all. This
gives me good mileage and performance. I also used the steering column and
the front calipers. The overdrive tranny coupled with my 2.73 gears really
helps on the highway. Low RPM, high gas mileage. I had 3.70 gears but they
started to howl. So, I swapped the center section with another center
section that I had from a different project (67 Mustang GT fastback). It
drives much smoother with the 2.73's but not as snappy as the 3.70's.
Another trade off to think about.
I have some pictures of the front end, engine and truck on Shutterfly.com

you want to take a look.

I hope this gives you some of the info you needed and if not hopefully you
weren't bored to tears!
Thanks!
