Have you changed your fuel filter lately?
Also, TBI systems put much greater stress on the main injector, and sometimes they stop reacting quickly enough to provide sufficient quantity of fuel at higher RPM under load.
Start by replacing your fuel filter, changing ALL FUEL IN THE SYSTEM (to rule out fuel contaminant issues, especially if you've been using ethanol blends), and check the fuel pickup in the tank to be sure it isn't clogged or obstructed.
When all else is ruled out, try replacing the main injector.
I did, but I had to exchange the drive shaft b/c the length was wrong. the R4 has OD, and the 350 does not, making the 350 shorter. It's no a great idea. I was unhappy with the 3 speed 350 because of very poor gas mileage, so I went back to the r4. I had a bit of an issue with the speedo cable and the tranny crossmember mount too. It's not really worth it, but yes, you can do it, but it's going to take fab work, and after my own ordeal, I'd not really suggest it. I was just trying to save a few bucks, and got myself into a world of hurt. lol you live , you learn. Unfortunately Fixya did not exist back then.
It will mate to the engine, but the turbo 350 is shorter then the 700R4 and your going to loose the lower first gear ratio in the 700R4 and the OD that the Turbo 350 don't have. It can be done, but your going to have to relocate the transmission cross member and have a longer drive shaft made.
