The electrical side should work fine without doing anything. The truck is a 92, the check engine light may stay on, but it should run fine. The 4.3 flywheel should have fit your 350.

yeah, only thing i got to figure out is reverse lights, 4.3s are externally balanced motors via flywheel, along with 454's, 350s, are not. hopefully going to pick up the tranny and dash+firewall up this afternoon hopefully be mobile this coming weekend!

The 350s have that external balance weight on them too. 1 piece rear seal 350s are "almost" internal balance.

ended up buying a sunfire gt for something a little eaiser on gas for traveling 90km round trip every couple days for work, truck still works great have a vibration coming from my rear drive shaft which still has to be lengthened, got the front shaft shortened and installed truck will pretty well climb anything long as i can get front tires up and not drag the back bumper in low 1st gear, 4.11s and 5 spd not great for highway driving, runs about 2000 rpm at 85km/h, going to try bigger tires. still have to order in the proper shifter for the tranny as well but so far got about 15k kms or more without an issue, still no tail lights, and no reverse light until i can find a diagram.
