allright well im not new to the whole v8 s10 scene i have previously done a 91 sonoma and a 95 sonoma and am wanting to now do my 97 jimmy. The Jimmy is 2 door 2 wheel drive , auto. This time i wanting to go efi and pretty stock looking as my last 2 were 12 second trucks and actually scared me to drive cuz the ass ends swung out everywhere. Both had the same motor (transplanted same motor into both) both had 4.11 with zexel torsen and caltracs and actually got one to pull front tires off ground doin 45 in the rain.
Now i would like to put a 96-99 (i belive those are the correct years.) 5.7 vortec into my jimmy. And im actually wondering about what it would involve as far as wiring and the exhaust. I would like to build the 5.7 up a little bit mild cam, .030 over maybe 9.8:1 comp. ratio. Now with this motor i would like to keep the stock wiring harness and comp ( comp reflashed of course.).
1. if i were to use the stock 5.7 exhaust manifolds would i get lucky with them aligning with the stock exhaust ( maybe temp not sure yet).
2. how would the stock wiring work as far as the wiring for the spider injector and i believe that the 5.7 has 4 O2 as apposed to my 3
3. Will i be able to drop the 5.7 into the stock location of the 4.3 minus it being longer in the front.
if anybody has done this swap i would really appreciate any hints or tips on this particular swap.
now i do know mostly what i am getting into and know the 4l60e in stock form may not last long and that i will be building one but i would like to keep this swap "stock". i would like a nice reliable good running v8 dd.
thanks to all!
