Dave321 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I recently got this truck on a deal. It has a tired rodknocking 4.3 in it. It also has the nv3500 5 speed. I want to put a vortec 5.7 from a 96 c1500 that i already have. This truck would have come with a 5.3. Does anyone know if i need swap up motor mounts or can I use 3/4 motor mounts from 99 that still came with the 5.7. I have the vortec motor running on carb and an H.E.I. Also curious if the nv3500 bellhousing will bolt up right to the 5.7. I have heard that I can use a 90's model 305 flywheel, 153 tooth, and the clutch kit for the 4.3. Has anyone done this swap? Appreciate any info.
Mikebtte Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Bell housing should all be the same. Motor mounts will be different as a 96 5.7 is an older block and 99 is set up for an LS style block. Emmision won't be right and the 96 vortec wiring won't be right.
