#15 of 18 Re: 1994 Rodeo engine swap [cdolce] by insanemods Aug 16, 2009 (3:58 pm)
Replying to: cdolce (Aug 16, 2009 2:46 pm) The GM 4.3 is just a 350 small block with 2 cylinders chopped off. I have fitted an SB 350 in my 99 passport with lots of room to spare. My best guess is the 4.3 should fit with no problem. However, swapping a V8 or V6 into the rodeo is not easily done. Depending on how you want to go about it. You will need to make many mods, to make this work. I could not find any adapters or engine mounts for this conversion. I don't believe you can maintaine the 4L30E for this swap. The 4L30E does have the GM 60* bolt pattern and there are adapter plates available, but I don't know how you would get the starter to bolt up with this set up. If you would like to maintaine the original T-case and go to a 700R4 trans as I did. You will either need to build your own adaptor or I can build one for you. (Inquire at mryder02hotmail.com) I recommend a lift kit to make this swap easier. Another option is to swap out the T-Case to GM. You will need to have your drive lines modified and figure out the shift linkage. Also if your existing speedometer isn't cable run. you will need a transfer case with a speed sensor and it may need to be calibrated if it works at all.
