Default Intake swap

This may be a rookie question but i was looking around and found an intake manifold for a I roc camero and was wondering if I could install that on my 305 engine in my truck ?

You can theoretically swap the intake over, yes, but it will require a huge amount of work unless you swap the computer/harness/sensors over along with the intake, runners and plenum.

The intake you're asking about is called a Tuned Port Intake. It's an EFI intake that uses sequential port injection. In other words, it's a fancy 90s intake to squeeze just a little more power out of the old style SBC before they started using LT1 engines in F-body cars.

Basically, it would be easier to put on an Edlebrock dual plane intake and a carburetor than it would be to swap over all the TPI stuff.
