    97' 4.3L Engine Swap Questions

    How would the harness swap over? Im not trying to make a hot rod id just like a little more power for pulling and what not. I can get the whole suburban for really cheap too and my truck is worth puttin this effort into. If needed a can switch the 5.7 to carb if it would work better that way?

    HID conversion kit?

    Thanks bulldog that looks like its exactly what I need. For some reason I got it in my head I had 7x6 headlights not 4x6. I don't know where I got that from lol, but that's why I couldn't find this kit the other night.

    1997 4.3 swap questions

    I shoulda worded my option 1 a little differently, its (I believe) a vortec 5.7 I just say tbi 350 I thought it was the same thing but I see what the difference is. The engines coming out of a 95 suburban. So everything should hook up to the gauges in my 97 truck correct? If that's the case I...
