TBI stands for throttle Body Injection. This is when The fuel injectors are mounted on the throttle body. Some mistake the throttle body for a carburetor So the answer to your question is the fuel system.

It is easy to install a TBI system on an old out dated caurburated vehicle.

Can a 350 from a 1988 gmc truck replace a 1996 Tahoe 350?

The 88 engine is a TBI / Throttle Body injection engine. I don't know the month of 1996 when they changed to the vortec engine fuel system, But I believe it was in late 1996. You should know if the 1996 engine is a TBI engine or a vortec engine if you have Sean it. So if it is a TBI engine then you have no problems, Put it in there and hook everything up and your good to go. Now if it's a vortec engine you have problems, None of the wireing will hook up to the 88 engine sensors. And the 96 computer will not run the 88 engine. And the fuel pump in the 96 Tahoe has to much fuel pressure for a TBI engine. You can not put the vortec fuel system/ intake manifold on the 88 engine because none of the intake bolts will match the heads or vise verse. You will be opening a can of worms. You need to go back with a vortec engine if that is whats in the Tahoe now.


How do you convert tbi to carb?

tbi engine top end is different from carb engine top end. on a carburated engine, the intake and heads use 90 degree angles for intake mounting bolts. on a tbi engine, the intake and heads use 75 degree angles for intake bolts. you can choose one of these three options: entire new engine. intake manifold designed for tbi heads but utilizes a carb mounting flange on top or tbi manifold to spread bore or square bore adapter
