Seat Swapping Question

Hello, here's my question, I have my 96 4 door Blazer with power cloth seats and I was wondering what modifications you need to make to 98+ powered leather seats work and if I can retain the power functions.

01vortec is an unknown quantity at this point

i swapped 95 jimmy power/leather into my 01, all i had to do was wire up the connectors that were stuffed under the carpet. all the bolts lined up, its pretty much a direct swap

you may not have to wire up anything then. I had to wire them because I had the non-power 60/40 split bench before

Don't F body seats bolt up?

I beleive they will fit but you still need to use the stock seat tracks, i think cavalier seats are a direct bolt in. (don't quote me)

Cav seats don't bolt in either. You need to swap seat tracks on them as well as F body seats. There's one hole you have to drill or enlarge to make the stock tracks bolt to them.
