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.
Yes it can. It is the same engine.
Yes if the 89 had the same size motor as the 95 the 95 motor will bolt right in. The Chevy 350 did not change from 88 to 95. In 96 it went to the vortec 350 its a little different.
88 percent of 350 is 308.
i wanna say 77 or 88.not pos....
it the front one on the driver side
A pineapple grenade because you are about to mess up the 88 truck has a weak motor prob don't have as much power as the 305 vortec don't do it get computer and motor from a vortec to put in the truck
88 Iroc came with either 305 or 350. You already answered the question with camaro 350
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.
5 qts. with new filter.
YES. that would be a direct bolt in/swap
