1994 Chevy K1500 Engine swap
1998 1500 engine swap
I need a little advice on swapping out the engine in my pickup. I recently blew the 4.3lt vortec that was in it stock and need a whole new engine. My idea was to drop a 5.0 or 5.7 in it. I was wondering what your inputs where on if it is worth it and how to go about it? ie. stay vortec & new comp, or carb? Mounting problems? Exaust setup?
Thanks, Andrew.
Thanks, Andrew.
Re: 1998 1500 engine swap
Well, all the above.
Engine mounting different, A/C, power steering, fuel lines, complete engine harness and computer, exhaust, and most likely several other things will need to be modified along the way.

All of that? I thought as long as I stayed with a small block of the simillar year there would be little needed?(engine mounts & power steering) I was anticipating on needing a new computer but thats why I was thinking running a carb, i live in a small city so there not to interested in emmisions standards.

A/C mounting and lines different, fuel lines run different, exhaust manifolds and pipe is different, etc.

1994 Chevy K1500 Engine swap
I have a 1994 Chevy K1500 extended cab with a new 350 long block the Chevy Dealer put in after they ruined the my engine changing the intake gasket. I'm wondering if I can put this engine in a newer Chevy K1500 with a bad 350. I would like to have a extended cab with back doors or a 4 door pickup. If I can, what year can I go up to? What will I have to swap on the engine? Thanks for any help!
Re: 1994 Chevy K1500 Engine swap
that really depends on the amount of work you can do to switch things over and the EPA regulations in your area. 94 has a throttle body fuel injection. If you are wondering how new you can go you should contact a wrecking yard in your area about what years are you able to do a drop in.
1996 they went away from the throttle body injection system. It gets very complicated if you start to change to a newer injector system.
It could be cheaper and easier to buy a truck that has everything you want and sell your old truck with the new engine. Just a thought
