Ok so the motor will work. Can't I just use the 5.0L flywheel because if memory serves me corrctly, at least in older models, everything interchanges. Meaning it would bolt to the 5.8 motor.
With that done you then need to source a 5.8 PCM for a truck with a C6 auto(3-speed) or manual transmission, you cannot use the 5.8 PCM in the '90 because it will throw a mountain of codes without that E4OD trans connected, and moving that trans into the '91 is a big job since it will involve a lot of wiring.
And on this, you lost me. If mine is all mechanical, I won't have any electrical to plug up. Only thing I am interested in is changing the motor. Will I also need the computer from the 1990? Or will everything be the same? The motor in the 4x4 is the 5.0 and is VERY week to say the least. And by the way THANK YOU for all of the help on this. I really appreciate it.
