engine swap

[55chevylover]

Hello to all,I have a 1989 Chevy truck and was wondering if a engine from a 1979 Chevy will bolt up to the 1989? I have changed the engines on the 1979 and older but I don't know about the newer ones. Thanks for the help.

Of course it will if you use the right parts. What engines are in them?

My 1987 GMC 4x4s bith gave earky 70s shortblocks due ti the orginaks being cracked late nodek thin wall crap. I have the 87-95 TBI heads and byntakes on them, You need to use early flexplate due to one piece rear main.

The 1989 has a V8 and I want to put the 1979 inline 6 init. Thanks

I am sure it can be done but dont think its a good plan, Inline 6 never offered in 88-98 1/2 ton etc. Your 89 has a V8 or V6 plus injection.
