I figured there would be a few differences here and there. What are the main differences between the TBI for the 8 and the 6?

Sweet. By this time next year it may not be exactly stock anymore. Is it hard to tune a mildly turned up motor?

Can someone give me the part # for the adapter plate for the GM TB to the AMC 2 barrel manifold
I am working on getting my parts together.

The throttle body is a different size, as well as the injector. ECU is the same as far as I know.

Nah - a 4.3L v6 and the 5.0/5.7 had the same TBI. Different injectors.

Now a 7.4 454 had a slightly bigger TBI and bigger injectors. (which I think would be good for an AMC 401)

All of 'em had the same ECU (or variants thereof). The difference between a 7747 ECU for a v6 small block/big block is the BIN file.

Interesting. I would think the 4.3L would be more efficient with a smaller TB.
