Just swap the intake manifold.

That ^^^^^^^ from what ive heard

what kinda motor is the tbi on. If itll work for a 400 sbl i know someone who could take it off your hands

Id do whatever it takes to not have to keep the tbi intake on there and run a 4brl.You might be able to drill new holes in the heads at an angle if its not to close to the holes that are there already or elongate the intake holes and make some spacer washers with an angle at one side or get a new intake.Heres a link to the intake that will work.

I would make some angled spacers and save the money myself.

I have a 93 350 in my K5 right now. I just used an Edelbrock Performer intake and hogged out the 4 center holes. I used extra silicone in the enlarged holes and made some tapered washers to correct the angle difference between the bolt and manifold. Works fine and no leaks.
