Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
I have a 92 sonoma extended cab I'm about to swap a 350 into, so all I need is headers, mounts and an electric fan, correct? I currently have a jet stage 2 chip in it, will I need to remove that and go back to stock chip for this to work? also, is the computer harness plugs the same from the fullsize 350 the same for my truck (the actual plugs that plug into the computer box, if it is I'll get computer and all from the donor truck) one more thing, it is an ext. cab with the 2-piece drive shaft, I want to loose that and go with a one piece, is there any shafts out there that's the right length or will have to get one custom made? maybe one out of a longbed s10 or fullsize.

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
i dont have time to read this whole forum to see if someone asked this already but i have a 91 with the 2.5 in it and i wanted to put a 350 in it and i was wondering what would need to be done. my truck is bagged so the ac/heater blower and stuff is gone. and the windshield wiper fluid tank is gone. do they have motor mounts that mount right up? would i need a different tranny? or would it just be eaiser/cheaper to get the 4.3 that my year came with and put that in. i jus need more power. im not lookin to make it fast its just that the 2.5 dont get out of its own way. lol

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
someone plz direct me to forum that covers all front caps and beds that will bolt on to a 1993 s-10, including GMC etc. i luv my s-10 and up until a few weeks ago it was in mint condition. i want to just exchance the bed & bumper, and i'd like to exchange the entire front cap to those 80's style with the little square grills. i'd like to go with an all "black" bumper no rubber bumper guard, yet have that plastic spoiler like the late 80's GMC's have. any help would be appreciated. Tom.

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
ok, so you're saying that i can drop a 350 in a 99 that had a 4.3 and an auto tranny by just changing a few harnesses and taking out the computer?

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
I have a question on radiator. What is the best radiator to use in a 96 s10 with a v8? Also i want to keep my a/c evap coil in place so i can use my a/c. I have a single belt system off a 93 chevy full size truck that i'm using. And most of all i don't want to cut it up to fit the radiator.

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
I'm thinking of swapping in a carbed 350 w/vortec heads and 700R4 trans. into my CPI equipped 95 Blazer 4wd. What will need to be done to make my guages etc work? Also what about the fuel pump? Will the original pump work with the carbed setup? I'll only be runnin a 600cfm carb and making about 300 HP at the crank.

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
Acessory fits depend on which engine you are using. I am planning to use a '95 LT1 from a Camaro in my '94 Noma, and it is a 90% drop-in fit, with the Camaro accessories. Ah, but this is on a 2WD truck. 4WD is different. On the JTR manual, I have the 14th edition, which has a chapter on the 2nd gen. versions. This chapter is also on their website, if you go online to:www.JagsThatRun.com It is chapter 16. This just includes up thru 97. The third generation...??? ![]() |

On all the threads about V-8 swaps,
I have never seen anybody raise the issue of the speedo scale. My truck goes to 85mph. The tach goes orange at 4500 and shows redline at 5000 rpm. The LT1 we are going to put into it will make these values a joke. What is available and what works for higher speedo scale, and tach recalibrating? |

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
94 vortec 4.3. I have a carbed 350 sittin around. I would like to make an adapter, run a 350 TB on it, and put it in my truck. I'm confused as to whether I can just drop it in and go or what? Will it just plug and play like that?

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
Hi all, first post here so please done flame too much
![]() Im picking a 88 4x4 blazer(4.3L/700r4 with non electronic transfer case) and was wondering about dropping a 350 in it. Now i read though the 9 pages and didnt seem to find answers to my questions. 1. 4.3L tbi > 350tbi.....i know the 350 hooks up to the 4.3 harness.....what about the distributer? i mean your going from 6cyl to 8 cyl.....isnt computer not going to able to fire the xtra two cylinders? or does harness plug into the distributer and function properly? 2. how will the drivetrain hold up to the power? I want to lower the blazer and make it kinda resemble a typhoon(ish) blazer. Ive seen a 3/3 drop for the 4x4 and want to do that. Ive already got a 454 powered 77' K10 for offroading. 3. If i were to goto a tpi powerplant.....does the f-body harness hook correctly to the body harness?(for power n such) I know i have to change fuel pump for the increased fuel psi with the tpi setup I know the basics of a v8 s10 swap....done them before......just carb style. I want to try FI out for a change. thanks, Shelby ![]() |

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
if you have ac,pusher fans will not keep it cool.Toyh8tr,(1) you will need a v8 distributor(only 6 wires vesuse 8 wires?)same plug if thats what you meant
(2)drivetrain will be OK,but dont go jumping cliffs or moutains..lol (3)I dont mess with tpi's,unless you just like the looks,the tbi stock for stock is a the best way to go,(just my opinion)I would rather pay $300 for a tbi versus $1000 for a tpi and only gaine 10-15 hp? |

For example, I have a 97 GMC sonoma with the 4.3 vortec and 4L60E tranny. Are you saying I have to change the computer to run a 5.7 liter engine from 1997 and that none of the accessories(water pump, power steering, etc) will fit? I thought it could do this swap without swapping out the computer.
One last question....Can i run a carbed V8 with the 4L60E transmission? 4.3 TBI to 350 TBI---------------------------------- To make this easier, I’m doing a fuel-injected engine to a fuel-injected engine. Meaning there’s no need for gas tank modifications. If you go from carbureted to EFI, or vice versa then you need a new Gas tank unit for the appropriate method. Your job is A LOT simpler in most cases. But don’t let that fool you, its still a chore to do. If you have a 4.3EFI from 87-93 TBI, if you get a V8 from that same time frame that’s TBI, you have little or no wiring issues, everything that plugs into the 4.3, will plug into the 350. When we did mine, we used everything from the 4.3 on the 350, including Throttle Body, Power steering, Water pump, Harness, and computer. But if you have a vortec, and are switching out, you need to pull harness and computer, and you need a complete 350, as most parts wont transfer. So with that in mind, here are the parts lists - THESE PARTS *NEED* TO BE REMOVED- Engine. (If 94+ vortec to any other 350, Harness and Computer) THESE PARTS STAY- Master Brake cylinder AC/Heater boxes Tranny Drive train Radiator (pull it to remove/install the engines though) PARTS that will be *NEEDED* - |

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

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
I've been toying with the idea of doing a 350 swap in my 91 s10 blazer 4x4 to replace the 4.3 in it and it is a tbi and has the 4l60 tranny but my main concern was when I started asking around the response i got from the so called "pros" (aka GMC Goodwrench mechanics) I was told they are a nightmare since you have to modify the compartment and get a specific oil pan to fit over the front axle since it's a 4x4. Now so far I'm getting the impression that if i do the swap all i need really is a new 350, an ECM(no wiring though since it's a tbi) headers, electric fan, engine mount adapters and so on...have I got this right so far? and if those guys were right about the oil pans, any recomendations on where to get one that will fit right?(Schucks\Parts America\CSK is preferable since they're my main source for parts up here)

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
Hopefully someone who knows something still reads this. Ive read the thread multiple times but couldnt make 100% sense of it as everyone says diff stuff.
I have a 90 4.3 5spd 2wd pickup If i follow correctly all i need is mounts and headers/manifolds. If i use manifolds what year/model do i need them from? Do i need an oil pan? And what year/model of eprom do i steal for the new motor? same thing on injectors ive heard/read the v8tbi ones flow more should i get those also? Lastly i have more access to newer v8's and would rather use them anyway for obvoius reasons, but can i use a newer longblock and just use the older v8 tbi intake manifold and other v6 parts? thanks please help lol |

Re: Swapping? Heres A List Of Parts And Answered Questions!
I wanna say you can run LT1 manifolds, the engine bay is pretty tight in those cars so it'd be ideal that the manifolds are also small.
