yes but most 96 engines had vortec heads and intake manifold which are way better and if its fuel injected you might have some driveability problems it will still run but might not run smoothly
In the cylinder heads.
Depending on years that you are swapping around....yes. The 305 heads will raise the compression of the 350 considerably. However, the intake valves are a lot smaller than the 350.
The 5.7 heads will work if they have the smaller 184 intake valves . Or you will have to bore the block over to get the 194 ,200,or 202 intake valves to fit into the cylinder if not it will lock it up when the valve opens and hits the edge of the block
No. Not without switching the cylinder heads. I think it was 89, Chevy came out with the 1st generation Vortec heads, which require a different intake.
The cylinder heads are diffrent. Intake from 1998 truck will not bolt up to 1990 heads.
nothing. but the intake will be diff.
Probably. But you may need to enlarge the 4 center bolt holes, as the angle is a little different. NEW ANSWER: That is TRUE when you install a TBI / Throttle body injection intake on an early modal carbureted engine / set of heads. You can't drill the intake bolt holes out to make it fit on a vortec engine / HEADS. Reason being is because the bolt holes in the vortec heads and intake are straight up and down.
No, but if the 96 has the 5.7 Vortec engine then it will have different heads which give it more power. ETA Question: Can I put the '96 vortec heads and intake on the '93 engine? You will need a vortec specific manifold. Edelbrock makes one
Yes but you would need to do a lot of work like removeing intake manifolds,heads,exoust,ext... Not for the inpatient
yes no worries
No not even close.
Yes, however, they both take different intake manifolds, so you will have to transfer the intake, as well.
