no u cannot use the computer or wireing harness. well the harness u technically could i guess jsut add 2 injectors to it and use a v8 computer if the connections are the same i don't really know. but all the 4.3 is is a V8 with 2 cylinders cut off. so u sould be able to use the scceceries but cheak that out more i don't know that.

all you have to do is swap in a new p.r.o.m. chip and extend the knock sensor wiring and O2 sensor wiring. 4.3,5.0, and 5.7 use the same throttle body the only diff. is the injector flow rate, and there are only 2 injectors,ohh and thay all they also use the same computor just diff. p.r.o.m. chips

back in 1994 when i lived in Tacoma, Washington, I had a black 85(I think)S-15 Gypsy 4x4 with a very nice suspension and a full roll cage inside the standard cab...the guy I bought it from said the V8 was out of a Corvette and the 700R4 was out if a Camaro(back then I didnt know or care)....but the engine died one day and the guy I bought it from was no longer running his lot...so I had someone else pick it up for $3500...now I have a 92 Blazer(4x4) with a 2.8 and a 5 speed....I'm going to get the JTR book and start looking up what it is I will need to convert to a small block(with an automatic of course)....seems that the S-Series community is at odds with each other about V8 swaps...I think GM should have done this years ago...Dodge did with the Dakotas....there are a couple of swaps here in the El Paso area that are pretty nice, but I have yet to talk with them about what they did and how they did it.....I'm not done researching this though....

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

i was wondering. i want to drop in a 88 359 tune port from an iroc. i have the topend plus heads,harness, and ecm from the iroc.

its going to go into a 93 blazer 4x4 4.3. with the 460le or whatever its called tranny.
my ? is will a painless harness let the tranny work with ecm?
or is it easier to just swap in a 700r4?
will the factory 4.3 frame mounts work to bolt up the 350?

i did a quick search, but still nothing

i belive the tranny will be fine however i think you will have to change to the 2.8 lower mounts depending on the upper swap mounts you use.

Question Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

QUOTE=Beeker]In most cases, No, I highly reccomend headers for a decent fit, and better Access to Spark plugs. With the headers, the steering shaft goes between 2 loops in the drivers side header, and Im pretty sure if

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

O.K. I read the whole post and am not sure of the answer. Does anyone know what it would take to put an LT1 engine in a 1996 4WD Blazer? Can I use the same transmission that is in it? It had a 4.3l with the 4l60e. Will I have to do any modifiying to the trans mounts or transaxles. It looks like all I need is mounts, ecm, wiring harness, engine, rad., fans, headers. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Scott

It's a fairly easy swap, you don't have to modify the tranny mounts or the axles. You do have to get an oil pan from advance adapters, that will fit around the front axle, they are alot cheaper from summit-they have motor mounts also. Then you will have to make your own oil pick up tube, because an lt1 has a bigger one than a regular 350. A lot of people get by with the 4.3 radiator, you could try it, and if it heats up, buy a bigger one later. You also need to have the ecm that came with the engine flashed. And you can use your tranny.

If you have an automatic transmission, then it is the same one that is in a half ton pickup, and yes the axles can take it.

Advance adapters has a manifold style header that will clear the steering, but if you want real performance headers, you can get sanderson or hedman headers, on those the steering shaft goes through the header. The rest of the swap is pretty easy.

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

I have an early 1985 s-15 jimmy 4x4. My 2.8 has been replaced once and it looks like it needs to be done again in the summer. I know what i need for engine and exhaust, but as for tranny and rear, im stumped. the 85 is carb'd and no computer stuff at all. My problem lies in these computer controlled tranny's. I want to use the earliest 700 r4 that bolted up to a 4.3 (90 degree bellhousing) but i think that all of those tranny's had some sort of electronic or computer control. im trying to preserve the use of the old 4x4 and column shift system. I would gladly use a TH350 if i knew it would bolt up to my transfer case and crossmember without much modification. any help would be appreciated. Oh and i want to put in a posi rear with disc brakes but im completely clueless as to what would swap directly in. thanks guys

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

ok iv got some questions,
can the 4.3L computer be tha same for a 350?
can the rad stay I dont want to spend $400 on a custom one?
motor mounts can the be reused or are new ones needed?.
I know about the oil pan and the headers is Advanced Adapters a good place to get them?
and the ac must have ac.

Thats all that I can think of that others have not thought of or they may have to do if they decide to swap their motors. But mostly for me I got a motor out a 90's suburben with a newer 350 tbi.
thanks Anthony

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

my boss has told me that the T-5 from the 5-speed dimes is not the same T-5 from the 3rd gen camaros. I thought a T-5 was a T-5. Is the bellhousing different or is he smoking something good?

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

yes.....the T-5 bellhousing on the camaros is "cocked" something like 15 degrees differently....




If anyone is intereted....I am starting (or have just started) a V-8 swap in my 1992 Ext Cab S10 (2 x 4). It currently has the 4.3L V6. I will be installing a 383 stroker. TBI or carb....haven't decided yet, but could do either. Having owned 3 camaros, I cannot wait to see how this all turns out. Now, if I could just get all the rust off the body and frame!!!!

try reading posts from people who know what there talking about, by the way no on those mounts and i don't know how big that radiator is but if you have a sawzall you can make it fit as long as the frame doesn't get inthe way. and you want mounts from a 2.8v6 s10, they are similar to corvette mounts and they bolt right up to your frame and stealth conversion mounts ohh and by the way check out
www.v8s10.com
they have more info on non 4.3 to carbed v8 swaps

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!

I feel like an ass asking but what changes would be required for swaping a 2.2l for a 4.3l on a 94s-10? Im not looking for too much more power, just enough to climb hills at speeds above 50mph. (live in so cal where you have to take out a loan for gas)

You are right, I have a 91 S-10 2.5 Vortech and there is nothing specific here, AND I DO READ THE QUOTES AND MESSAGES, it would be real easy to say that the swap is the same as the 2.2 or what ever, but there is nothing as the like here.
I would like to know what the swap procedure for the 2.5 Vortech with a TBI is, is it the same as the 2.2 or just what.

Motor mounts, transmission, driveshaft, ecm, wiring harness, radiator, elec fans, fuel lines, and fuel pump. Thats everything required to put a 5.7L Vortec and you would have 260hp vs 190 from a 4.3 Vortec. Might even gain a little mpg, as you wouldn't be pusing the V8 as hard to get the same ammount of speed from a V6. Plus with the additional tq, you can lower the gearing and gain better mpg also.
