my plan is to get a donor truck complete. 97 or 98. my blazer is 94 w/ cpi 4.3

1. will the 350 tbi ecm plug into the existing harness? or can the cpi run the tbi?

2. if anyone can post pics of their 350 swap finished, i would appreciate it.

3. any opinions of the advance adapters kit? really worth the $1000 with the radiator

There are lots of "no's" here. First of all, a '97 or '98 350 will have CSFI, not TBI. Now you're talking about taking a computer designed for a 6 cylinder truck and trying to find something with 8 cylinders. Don't ya think it might get a little confused. And no...the harnesses will not work. None of the injection system share connectors or pinouts. Heck, even within the TBI world there are plenty of differences on the pinouts, some that matter, some that don't.

As for the kit...that's up to you. Are you in a position to fabricate up motor mounts, exhaust, cooling, etc to match the swap? That is a question only you can answer. I have used both kits and fabricated things on my truck. It all depends on what it is I am doing, my funding, and my time.

My 89 is an easy swap. But it was TBI , and i am running a TBI 350 . Works great. I can't say the same for a newer Rig. If I was doing the swap I would do a 5.3 or something cool. There is a guy who makes direct harness's to bolt them up also . Specifically for S10's.

Thats the old style V8 swap Be Cool. Measure what you need and get a Griffin or Afco and save a lot of money. Get motor mounts/adapters from Transdapt. jegs.com has them

And that sonofabitch would run :smokin:

I had a Moroso puke tank on it also. Install a remote trans and oil cooler, cooling is your friend because the radiator has got to be so small

Champ Service Line (might be part of Dorman/Motormite now?) has puke tanks for cheap as well.

What headers are you running, S10er8?

Hedman shorties

Are they the specific swap headers or for a different application? The reason I ask is because I need to find something for my Yota swap, but I'm not sold on huggers.

I have used just center dump block huggers on the swaps I have done(350) and sandersons for the 4.3 swaps.

Well you would be the one to know. Shit...I wish my work could look one tenth as good as yours. Your swaps are CLEAN. [/cockinmouth]

spanks :D

I wish I could remember what headers I used on one rig--nice quality and had the ball socket style collector----Has never givin my customer any grief...

Yeah they are swap headers. check out jegs and summit they have mounts, oil pans, headers, radiators for s10 v8 swaps
