Hello,
Would a S10 vortec fit a 1991 ext 2WD Vin: 1GBDM19Z7MB129347 ???
Is the intake manifold swapable with TBI carburator manifold (same bolt configuration)?
Would it fit the tranny?
Do i need the to replace the computer unit?

'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.
name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

Yes the donor would be a V6 - 4.3liter - Vortec from a S10 -
My Astro now for the moment has the - V6 4.3 Liter TBI engine 1991.
1996 and newer 4.3s have different heads; the intake from your 1991 won't work. 1995 and older should work, no matter if it is from an S10, Astro, or full size truck or sedan. You may have to swap some parts around, like the belt driven accessories, but the engine itself should work.

Thnx for the reply!
So if i do the swap, are the PCM's 1991 and Vortec the same? - connectors are interchangeble?
The beltdrivenparts is no problem i clould manage thad.
