Default Engine Swap

Alright boys heres the deal... Got an 02 Silverado with a 4.3. I recently happend upon a CARBURATED 350 for a more than fair price (free.99) Now what i need to know is what will i be able to salvage off of my engine to slap on this old beast? Will the tranny bolt up, ac, waterpump, etc.... Also wondering about the radiator?

I don't think anything will swap on those but I'm far less then qualified to answer this. I'd hit up www.ls1truck.com and see what they think on there.

THE DRAIN PLUG SHOULD MATCH..THATS ABOUT IT..

not to crack jokes..but your talking farrr to different..i guess the trans will bolt to it...but..

what are you trying to do?..put the 350 in place of the v-6?..if so,you'll need a donor truck...ecm,wiring,exhaust,fuel pyump...everything

It all depends on what kind of trans you have, chances are you would be lucky if it bolted up. And when it comes to swaping motors, trying to put a carburated 350 in place of a fuel injected v-6 is going to be tough. You will not be able to salvage much if anything from your old motor.
