Default advice needed LT1 going in 94 Sierra

Hi, I am new here and an alcoholic...jk
Anyways I came upon this site and thought this likely to be a good place for advice on the fastest way to put a LT1 TPI motor in my 94 Sierra pickup that is a throttle body 5.7. I am not new to mechanic work (what I do for a living) but never done any major wiring. I am just wondering what is the easiest to get my truck rolling again is. The motor is a TPI 5.7 crate motor that I am picking up out of a wrecked 88 GTA. I would like to use the TPI system rather than put the throttle body on it for obvious reasons. Any help advice etc greatly appreciated. Cheers

An LT1 is not a TPI motor. So what are you wanting to do exactly? Swap a full LT1 drive train into your truck?

And what is a "throttle body 5.7"? TPI 5.7?

What car do you have? TPI, TBI, and LT1 are all totally separate things.
