    Used, Reman, Crate, or LS???

    Yep, I searched for almost 2 years for a 5.7 for my '93 Z-71 with tbi, I didn't want to go back to a carb or have to do all the computer stuff for a vortec. Found a guy pulling out a nice one with 134K on it for $500 plus it had aluminum pulley setup on it. But you got to hunt.

    93 Z-71 starts then went dead

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    Hi I have a 93 Z-71 stepside with 260K on 5.7. I just bought and installed a 95 5.7 out of a clean 135K truck. I have run into a few differences like the 95 water pump had barb for heater hose. My question is concerning the computer, will I need to do anything because of the OBD 1 and OBD 1.5...
