I have a 93 W/T 1500 with a 4.3L v6, I have a 350 and transmission that I am going to put into the truck. I was wondering what all I would need to do for this?

What trans is in the truck?

What year is the engine? How complete is it?

I'm unsure of the trans, and the engine is complete and out of a 96 Chevy 2500

Is the original transmission missing?

If you're installing the 96 engine as-is, you'll need the '96 fuel pump to start with. Much higher pressure than the TBI fuel pump you have now.

You'll need the '96 computer and wiring harness, I expect the transmission will be electronic as well, so you'll have to have the transmission harness.

Get as much as you can from the donor vehicle--will save you money and time.
