So, long story short: I have a 1993 k1500, it's ugly. Dad had a 1995 k1500, it's beautiful. His head gasket blew and so did a head. Mine (1993) has a fresh rebuild with 10000ish. 2000 dollars later and I now own both of them.
I will have an extra engine and stuff for your projects that I probably can give away for free. Just pay shipping. Lol.
Anyways, that was the short part.... my question is pretty simple, being that these are both 5.7 engines, the 1993 is manual nv3500, the 1995 is auto. 4l60e. I am keeping computer the same for obvious reasons, but whoever put the engine into the 95 cut out all related sensors to the engine compartment. Like O2, possibly, knock sensor, the distributer has a msd so that's gone. Probably some others too.
Can I splice in my 1993 sensors for plug and play, or should I just keep msd, and forget all those pesky sensors pull the dash and pop that engine light bulb. I did not get the honor of taking the top end out of his truck, so not fully sure what is going to be different for plugging back in. Can I splice anything that needs to be.im an electrician, so wires are not a problem for me. Hope that was enough information. Oh yeah, no emissions due to 95 in Texas.
Any information that can make this easier for me I would appreciate. It's my first engine swap, but I am labeling everything and keeping very organized. Engine will be transplanted this weekend.
Thank you,
