I was wondering how hard would it be to put a 4bbl 350 in my 1997 chevy 1/2 ton. It has a Vortec 4.3 liter in it now. Would I have to change alot. Any info would help.

thanks cody

If you get a donor engine with all accessories, wiring and computer, should be too hard. But that all depends on your mechanical apptitude. It can get rather expensive, don't forget you will have to re-do the exhaust. Also depending on where you live, you might have issues with smog.
