93 1500 V6 to V8 swap

[Wildbill0088]

alright there are probably many threads on this but the search option is not helping me find them. I'm working on my first truck which is a 93 W/T 1500 with the 4.3 and NV3500 5 speed. Since I am not having any luck finding a V6 without 200,000 on it to replace the blown up one in the truck, I was wondering what I would have to change to put a 350 TBI in it's place. One of the first things I have noticed is that unlike my Fullsize blazer which has an 02 sensor in each manifold the W/T only has one in the exhaust pipe ahead of the cat, which I think would make it difficult to put true duals on it.

You would have to change the computer, and most of the fuel system injectors and so on, unless they are all included in the engine. It's not that bad of a swap.

a computer to run a 350 Tbi should be easy to find, only issue is finding one set up for the 5speed
