Hey guys,
I have been thinking about putting a new engine in my 93 c1500 RCSB. Currently, it has a 4.3l v6 in it. I would like to go v8 and was thinking about a crate. I am not looking for performance as this is not my daily driver anymore but I want something that will be reliable and I could maybe do some modifications to later down the line. I want to stay TBI and I have been looking for info on this swap but everything that I have found is either vortec or not exactly what I am doing so I have gotten nothing but confused. I know that I will have to upgrade the fuel pump and radiator but I am really not sure what else needs to happen. I don't want to spend a lot of money on it either but I can put it in myself as I have replaced the engine before. I have looked at some of the blueprints and the west coast engines as well as the goodwrench replacements from jegs.
I was looking at this one (https://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance/809/12681432/10002/-1) but have no idea if it will fit. I am really just looking for something that I can put in easily and be ready to drive without many problems.
Thanks for any help!
