94 - up s 10 parts interchange ?
 

ok i have a 94-up body style s 10 that was involved in a pretty good accident and the owner gave it to me to pay for his tow . It has a aftermarket throtle body on it and the truck is a 4.3 . I have a 2004 chevy s 10 crew cab that is my daily driver and it has some work done to it . I want to know if the throtle body from the 94 -up s10 will work on my 2004 ? I know some stuff interchanges but i am not shure on this . both trucks have vortec 4.3 motors in them

keep in mind the 94 and older CPI (aluminum upper intake) engines were called vortec as well. in 95 they went to the CSPI (plastic upper) which has a different throttle body.
the CSPI throttle body should work on the 04 as they are the same engine. FWIW a 5.0 and 5.7 take the same as well.
while you're at it cut off the baffle, big difference in response.

You say 94-up truck, but what year is it exactly? I think 96 was the first year 4.3 Vortech. I was told 95 was the last year for TBI & in 96 went to the OBD II with the plastic upper intake. Im sure Todd (68C15) knows better than I do, he does this stuff everyday at work...

I have no idea what year it is . its pretty smashed up . i think that it has the plastic style intake . what years did they still have the floor shift transfer case in the new body style trucks ???
