Default Engine Swap

Can i put a 93cpi engine in place of my 91tbi engine if i swap the intake manifolds so the electronicsare the same or is it way more complicated or are the heads/block completely different?

its waaaaaaaaaay more compilcated than just that. the cpi requres an upgraded ECU, and with the upgraded ECU , you'll have to rewire basically everything in the truck, becuse i'm sure that the wires aren' t the same. so if you decide to do it. good luck!

if you decide to swap, a good place to get your wiring is Painless Performance
