Re: GMC and chevy

If it is a tbi you can use any tbi motor from 88 - 95. You can change to a bigger engine too! Yes, GMC and Chevrolet are the same. Good luck.

Re: GMC and chevy

well i know chevy and GMC are the same, i just didnt know if for some reason that they had different parts, im probably just going to drop another 350 in cause there is less work.

Re: GMC and chevy

mechanically GMC and Chevy are the same, I was told by a friend who works in a bodyshop that some body parts are differnt between the two on recent year models, other than some of the trim stuff and interior...you are driving the same thing. I would have to say that GMC design usually looks better.

If it's a 2500 it came with a 4 bolt main. 1500s came with 2 bolt mains.
You have to use a motor from 88 through 95. Which is a tbi motor.
You can buy a complete motor from GM for 1600 to 1800 bucks.
