Motor
Ok here is an update on what iam planing on doing. Were planing on taking the head and intake from the 93 and puting on the 96 motor then puting in the 93. Would that work? I want to thank all of you guys for helping me out on this. Iam trying to get it running before school starts back because i dont want to ride in my buddys ford lol
Yes that should work.
Basically what your doing is a short block swap. Swap all the block sensors as well.
I gather your dad is going to help you with this swap?
Do yourself a favor and fork out the $15 for a Haynes manual. The Haynes manual will have critical torque specs you will need.
I splurged and forked out $40 for a book and DVD on rebuilding SBC engines. Had some good tips.
I am doing something very similar at the moment. I am swapping in a '85 4.5L into my '93 CPI truck. I had to make some modifications to make it work and still have one issue to work out. I'll post up a thread before too long. But it you want to see the pics?

If the engine in your 93 says Vortec on top then it is a CPI fuel injection system, if you go with your plan of swapping the heads and intake manifold over to the 96 motor, you should be fine. What is wrong with the 93 motor, bad rod, piston rings?
