1997 s-10 engine swap!

boog · 11-19-2009, 05:22 PM

I have a 1997 2wd s-10 pick-up that has a 4.3 vortec vin x engine in it. I picked up an engine that came out of a 1999 4wd s-10 pick-up that had a 4.3 vortec vin x also. The junkyard said I needed to use the bell housing bolts that came out of the 1999 s-10, and the flex plate. Just wondering what the difference is. Will I run into any problems? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks a lot Scott

Well the first problem you ran into is you posted a second gen question in the first gen section.
