Well...yes...and no.
I think, dont quote me on this, that your truck will take an engine
from 1988 through 1998. (bolt in, with no alterations)
Over the last 20 years engines have morphed from the 350 of old. Back
in the day a 350 was a 350 and completely interchangable. Now you have
to check and see when they changed the design. Im not sure, someone
will chime in with better details, but when they went to the throttle
body, I think the head design changed too, and the throttle body
requires the computer.
You can retro fit an old 350 to your truck, but it means doing away
with the computer and swapping the tranny to the old turbo, and a
possible driveshaft alteration.
I think its safe to say...do your homework.
