The 454 project motor I just picked up out of an '89 1-ton pickup had TBI on it. The TBI manifold has a few problems (cracked bolt ears) so I'm going to be junking it during the rebuild and going the more traditional carb route.

I wanted to put the motor on my engine test run stand and fire it up, but without the computer and wire harness the TBI is useless.

So, I was thinking of pulling the throttle body off and possibly sticking a working quadrajet on the TBI manifold (adapter needed?) for the short test run.

Other than that, I'd need to stick on a mechanical fuel pump...

Possible, doable, not a chance?
Thanks,
Kurt
