4.3L to 305 swap

[cletus023]

I've been searching, but was wondering if this is possible. The donor vehicle is a 1989 TBI 305 V8 from a caprice. The frame is getting close to being shot and i'm afraid the body on the car is going to quit before the engine does. The recipient is a 1989 s10 blazer with a 4.3L V6. i dont have all the specifics on the engine yet and am currently trying to figure if it has a spun bearing (whole nother problem). If the engine is shot, i'm debating this swap. Let me kow what you guys think. Thanks for the help.

you won't need the vette radiator.If you have a brass and copper core, you can have it recored with a 3 row HEI core. If you have a plastic and aluminum radiator ,the heavy duty version will take care of your needs
