4.3l v6 vs. 350 sbc

[cybrfire]

What swaps over and what doesn't?

Same starter?
Same HEI distributor stem?
Same water pump?
Same flex plate?
Same torque converter?

pretty sure the computer and throttle body is the same on the TBI motors

I read a while back that all it takes to switch from a v6 to a 350 in regards to TBI is a dizzy, knock sensor, and computer.

The computers might be the same just a prom change.The throttle bodies should also be the same but the injector size will be different.350 will bolt to the trans no prob not sure about the flexplate but thinking the same because a 4.3 is a 5.7 for the most part minus two cylinders.The y pipe may work as well if the right manifolds are used.

According to O'reilly's website the flex plates are the same. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/PIO0/FRA159.oap?year=1993&make=Chevrolet&model=S10&vi=1060995&keyword=automatic+transmission+flexplate Click on "compatibility"
