Replying to: mvolek (Jan 08, 2007 8:20 am) a 4.3 v-6 from an Olds Bravada(another Chevy Blazer) . Gm got in some hot water in the late 70's for putting Chevrolet small blocks in Cutlas's (people whining about having an engine with more power and less expensive replacement parts--DUMB) that ended up legalizing using Chevrolet motors in race cars of other GM divisions .

#13 of 30 GMC Engine by dave162 Oct 08, 2007 (6:32 pm)
Just got a 1999 Sonoma extended cab 2.2L 4cyl. It seems as though this engine is not strong enough for this truck. I had a 96 2.2 standard trans. and it will easily out preform this newer truck which is automatic. Anyone know if I can replace this engine with a V6? Will it match up with the trans. in the truck. How much should it cost? Any help? Replies to this message: gonogo (Oct 09, 2007 8:13 am)

Replying to: mvolek (Jan 17, 2007 10:39 am) Both of these motors are worthless slugs of lead.[305 - 307] An Old School 327 stock is ten times that of both of the others. It has to do with the perfect Bore to Stroke Ratio of the 327. It has the best power to weight right out of the box.   It's why they were the standard issue for fuel economy and power in School Busses.   350's have been stuffed into these for some time now. Just Google search and you will see many done. Once you make a search for a topic, then hit image search button. You'll see hundreds done all over the world.

#16 of 30 engine replacement by hoodlatch Dec 23, 2007 (11:38 pm)
Can I replace my 4.3Z with a Vortec X or W long block? I would like to up grade my 92Z with a balanced Vortec using my intake and exhaust manifolds. Has anyone tried it before? Thanx
#17 of 30 Engine conversion 2.2L to 4.3L by ridin_wild2000 Jan 09, 2008 (6:51 pm)
I am looking to replace my 2.2L in my 95 chevy s10 with a 4.3L. If I found another s10 that was 98 or newer with a 4.3L in it with low miles, would it match up under my hood. My 2.2 taps while running i have replaced the lifters and bridges. the tapping is coming from with in the engine. i gave up on this engine, and am looking for a total replacement. this is just a project truck now. thanks for any 411 Replies to this message: tver1 (Feb 22, 2009 2:49 pm)

I Have a 98 GMC Sonoma 2.2 5 speed and i was wondering if a 4.3 vortec out of a 98 GMC Sonoma Or 98 S10 would be the same computer and plug right in to my 2.2 Replies to this message: miniwhl (Feb 11, 2008 12:26 pm)
#19 of 30 Engine Swap S-15 by miniwhl Feb 11, 2008 (12:24 pm)
I have been assured by the salvage yard and rodder friends that the engine swap from 2.2 to 4.3 is very painless, but don't know about driveshaft issues. The computer and harness from the 98 up TPI engine should be used and the radiator should be upgraded also. The only question I have is about the driveshaft. My Jimmy has the 2.2 5-spd, and the 4.3 will have the 5-spd from the later truck. Can I use the existing driveshaft or will I have to use something else?

Replying to: 1gmcsonoma (Jan 19, 2008 6:03 pm) I am doing the same swap, and have been assured that this is an excellent swap, but the computer, wiring harness, and sensors from the later model engine must be used to function correctly. Good Luck
