Hey everyone, I have a 1994 gmc c1500 sl with a tbi 305 that my dad bought from CalTrans back in 2004 with 160k on it. The truck now has 316k on it and it’s tired and in desperate need of a new engine. Right now I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 vortec 5.7 that had 126k on it but I rolled it a couple years ago and I put a new cab on it but I’m wanting to downsize my “fleet” and I want to fix my dads truck to use it. So here’s my grand idea, I’m wanting to take my dads truck and put it on the low mile chassis and keep the vortec engine management but keep the 94 interior in the truck. I don’t want to switch to a different injection system yet because I’m trying to do this as cheaply as possible. So mainly I’m just curious if anyone has done something like this and if anyone has any information on how to make the wiring work between the engine bay in the 98 and the dash in the 94. I know there’s a lot rambling sorry about that but appreciate any advice anyone has, thank you.
