I recently purchased a 1987 Camaro with a blown 2.8 fi engine and A4 trans. I have always wanted a 454 5 spd t-top car, so a little from column A and a little from column B.... and here I am. I now need help to set up the struts to handle the increased weight and force this combo is going to create.

Anyone out there know what strut combo and springs I am going to need for the front end, and will a 5.7 tbi computer and wiring harness work on a Vortec 454 out of a C3500 4WD with fuel injection? I was told it would along with the distributor, but the source is unreliable.

I have the complete intake w/injectors , fuel rail and throttle body, all I am missing is the computer and wiring harness. Any thoughts as to whether or not this was thought out enough (besides me)?

All input and opinions are welcomed and appreciated.

This is my first time posting, but you guys are sharp as a tack so I hope you can help me too.


Thanks.
