            4.3 Swap Info & Notes

 

Motor:

 

The Chevy 4.3 can be found in GM vehicles from 1985-2004.  Desierable combinations would come from a 1992-2002 GM s-seriese or full size truck, these all have the TBI injection.  2002-newer have MPI but will likely be too hard to find.

 

Transmission:

 

The last year of the 700R4 was 1992.  According to the site below, GM renamed the 700R4 4L60.  Either of these tranny's should work just fine but the 4L60 has an electronically controlled brother that may not be ideal for the intended use.  The key distinction of the Later 4L60-E (1997-2006) from the Early 4L60-E (1992-1997) or 4L60 (1990-1992) or 700R4 (1982-1989) is the six-bolt "hex" rear output or tailhousing / adapter pattern. The previous versions featured a four-bolt square bolt pattern at the adapter or tailhousing. Additionally, the removeable bellhousing is also another distinguishing feature.

Because the transmission is electronically controlled by the PCM and its requisite wiring, it is usually simplest to join the 4L60-E to the engine it came with from the factory. Earlier engines can be joined to the 4L60-E by use of a GM Controller, #12497316.  Individuals converting to earlier engines or engines not controlled by a GM PCM should consider the TH700R-4  <th700r4.htm>as the simpler and cost-conscious alternative.

 

T-case:

 

Need an NP231C (chevrolet).  Has a different BP from the NP231J (jeep).  700R4 will bolt directly to an NP231C.  Because the case is the same, the doubler kit will still work for either.  Also, the t-case input/tranny output are different spline counts between the two with the NP231C being 27spl, will need to verify that the plenetary has the same spline count in the NP231C as the NP231J to be sure the adapter will work for either.  Avail from 88-97 in S10's, from 88-97 in Blazer's.
