96 Silverado engine swap Sign In
I have a 1996 Silverado with the 305 engine in it, either has a blown head gasket or the intake manifold gasket is bad I don't know which . I put a garden hose in the radiator in the water was running out the oil pan plug I wanted to know if a 1999 350 vortec engin would go in without any modification like are all the plugins the same? Thanks

Definitely not. It's an entirely different operating system and fuel supply system.

  AGREE with HT -
much much easier to recondition the engine than swap -- AND I will add sometimes emission laws get in the way.

Re: 96 Silverado engine swap Sign In
thank you so much for the information, ok could you tell me what year 350 engine I could use in my 96 Silverado? I really hate to put this 305 back into it, I mean like if I had an older or newer 350 couldnt I just put the throttle body on to that? Thanks.

Re: 96 Silverado engine swap Sign In
No, same problem. Your operating system is programmed to operate a 5.0, not a 5.7. I'll also remind you again that Federal law prohibits doing that. The only thing you can put back in there is another compatible 5.0.
