Hey i'm looking to put the motor out of a 93 Chev truck into my 77 chev pickup, actually the motor trans and computer, and i was wondering if anyone had any tips because its not impossible but i've never done anything of the sort, its a v-6 replacing a 350 and 5 speed replacing a turbo 350 please anything to point me in the right direction
:puke:
most people go the other way, Not sure on how to swap that one.
April fools
yeah but i'm looking for more gas milage and i picked this one up cheapp.....it'd be the same for any old motor to new motor swap wouldn't it
the tranny should be close, but im preety sure you will need different motor mounts. As for everything else... Driveshaft is different I think. Youll need a complete harness for the v6. Have no clue but im sure the exhaust should work with a little modification after the headers. you might need a different yolk for the drive shaft, or rear end. Im sure the engine will fit but to be honest with you my wifes 4.3 is a 97 with 95k miles and it only gets about 20-22mpg... If I baby my 4.8 in my extended cab I can get 20mpg ( If I dont spray or race) As for internally, The 350 and the 4.3 should be the same minus 2 pistons, rods , and plugs. I think they are even the same bore and stroke. just 6 slugs instead of 8... although the year difference might cause it to not fit... I would not be suprized if it bolted right up... sorry for the novel. but this is the first of this kind I have heard of man.
You would likely get the same milage or better from a 4.8 v8 or a 5.3 that is in the LS generation. I had a 90's efi v6 that thing drank more gas than my Trans-am GTA with a TPI 305. Not to mention how much mileage are you really gonna gain a couple hundred bucks a year?. . . . . .
