I'm new to the forums, and have looked around a bit. I cant seem to find a good answer on this other than a lot of LS swaps. My boy just bought his grandpas 1994 1500 W/T. It has a 4.3 vortec in it, but is bad. we are looking to swap to a carbureted V8. What are our options. I replaced a few motors before, but always with direct replacement types. We bought a 2001 4.3 votec out of a GMC Jimmy, but nothing is the same.
So now we are looking at a V8 swap. what motor should we be looking for? What do we do about the original truck computer and wiring? will the stock trans work? I just don't know how involved this will get.
Any help you folks can give would be appreciated!! Heres a pic of the truck and my boy (Pickles) getting the 4.3 ready to pull.
