Ok i found a 383 useing a 93 block, i have a 95 which id like to put it into and run it off my ecu etc, what do i need to swap over from my 95 to the 93 to make it work?

Also will my 95 auto trans work with the 93 block?

The block is the same but you will need to swap the timing cover, cam, and opti if you want to keep the 95+ vented setup.

You should need a 94-95 Harness for the trans, the 4L60 (not the "E") should not have any trans functions in the chippable PCM. I'd check with PCMforless but none the less the block to trans matting is fine, its all the same bolt pattern.

ok so basically id have a useless transmission preform button in my center console, and id have to buy a whole new cam/opti/and timing cover to make it work?

Yea your 95 Tranny will work with the Engine.. I don't think your question was understood in the right way. As long as you use your 1995 Wiring and PCM you will be fine.

All you will have to do is swap the Timing Cover and Opti setup to a 1995 setup like mentioned above.

You will notice the 1993 has a different intake.

i want to keep his intake bc its been ported etc, but will i be able to directly swap over my timing and opti to the 93 off my 95? its already built cam and all.

ok nvm he says it has been updated for vented opti so im good to go there, so anything else i need to be aware about?

Puck

iTrader: (17)

Nope. I am actually doing the same thing but backwards - a 95 block into my 93. I swapped the timing cover to a 95 one that has the proper opti hole but no crank sensor, will be using a vented opti and opti harness, and a 95+ cam. Keeping the 93 computer and harness for now. Tranny is not an issue since the 93s is not computer controlled, so like mentioned as long as you use your 95 harness you will be fine.

you will need a 93 fuel rail or a custom 94-97 with a custom crossover if you wish to retain the 93 intake

TheDon619

iTrader: (4)

why? if im useing everything from his motor, will it not hook up right to the ecu or something?

myltwon

iTrader: (1)

93 intake has no provision for the front cross over featured on 94-97 cars, so make sure he includes it in the sale or find one

TheDon619

iTrader: (4)

oh yes, as far as i am aware it is a COMPLETE motor, drop in ready.
