The only thing special about the Vortec is the heads -bore and stroke should be the same on all 350 blocks. Cam is probably different though.

Can a 350 from a 1988 gmc truck replace a 1996 Tahoe 350?

The 88 engine is a TBI / Throttle Body injection engine. I don't know the month of 1996 when they changed to the vortec engine fuel system, But I believe it was in late 1996. You should know if the 1996 engine is a TBI engine or a vortec engine if you have Sean it. So if it is a TBI engine then you have no problems, Put it in there and hook everything up and your good to go. Now if it's a vortec engine you have problems, None of the wireing will hook up to the 88 engine sensors. And the 96 computer will not run the 88 engine. And the fuel pump in the 96 Tahoe has to much fuel pressure for a TBI engine. You can not put the vortec fuel system/ intake manifold on the 88 engine because none of the intake bolts will match the heads or vise verse. You will be opening a can of worms. You need to go back with a vortec engine if that is whats in the Tahoe now.

Can you put a 88 Chevy engine in a 97 Chevy Tahoe?

First of all, your smog laws, if any, would not allow this. If you have none, then yes, it will bolt right in. But, I would not do it, because, the 88 has about 100 less hp. NEW ANSWER: Yes that engine will bolt right in. But the problem is that it will never run. You would have to get a 88 computer / ENGINE CONTROL MODULE and the wireing harness for the 88 engine,computer,transmission and fuel pump. You would also have to change the transmission because the 88 computer will not shift the 97 4L60E transmission. You will also have to change the FUEL PUMP. The 88 requires 9 to 13 LBS of fuel pressure and the 97 Must have 60 to 66 LBS to run the 97 vortec engine. This means you will have to spend alot of MONEY to make the 88 engine run. Your best bet would be to put a VORTEC ENGINE BACK IN IT and be done with it.
