Couple of 4.3 ?'s - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I just got my 4.3 running in my toy and it is junk. My ?'s are as follows

1) Will a early modle Tbi intake bolt to a 99 or newer vortec block and heads?

2)Will the Tbi intake bolt to older carb motors?

3) will the vortec heads bolt to carb block and work with Tbi intake?

Thanks for any help that you guys could provide.

I believe the injected engines have a couple of bolt holes that are angled differently than the carbed engines but you could swap the heads between any of the three and use the matching fuel system.

what im hoping to do is get a 4.3 and put a chevy performance 4 barrel manifold on it.

if you look in some of the older posts this has been discussed before and someone new the specifics of putting a different intake on a vortec engine.
