Not unless you get a computer for TBI on 454 because that year 454 did not have TBI and it is unlikely that ECM will support it either.

So can I remove the computer and harness for the right side of the firewall,and get another harness from an `81-`86 that is on the driverside and run a carb on the 454?The plug looks the same. 8)
