91 5.7L TBI on sbc 400

[strokin13]

I am building a 400 small block to put in my 72 blazer.

I have heads, intake, distributor, TBI, ECM, and wiring harness, accessories, brackets, and serpentine from a 91 chevy 5.7L that I am going to put on the 400 block. The 400 will otherwise be stock.

Can anyone give me some insight as to problems I may encounter? I have been told I could run into problems with compression and timing etc. But on the other hand I have been told this is an easy build that will give me gobbs of torque. Any insight would be helpful!

Timing will be wrong, knock sensor signal will likely be wrong, and fueling to name a couple.

I don't know if the stock 350 TBI injectors can handle fueling a 400, I suspect if it IS mild, they can. If you go lean under heavy load, you'll know shortly when you hole a piston. There are some references to the WOT lean problem with 383's on this board.
