IMHO A tbi would be a great swap for a cruiser. I have one(350) in a chebby pickup(95) and all I've done to it is headers,remove the cat, installed a flowmaster ,and topped it off with a K&N. It always runs good and has plenty of power even with 35's.(4:56 gears).As for to rebuild or not to rebuild save yourself the trouble and put something fresh in there. By the way great find,free is a good price.
