92 2door Yukon help

[pinzz]

Hey guys I've never really used these threads before..I've done a bit of research on a project I'm taking on..
So we have a 92 2 door Yukon the motor is gone it was taken out by my girls kids when they blew it up an never replaced it
I've been trying to find a legible engine to put in it but the one I bought is gonna be hard
I bought a 96 Tahoe with 5.7 vortec 350 l31 and this Yukon didn't have a vortex originally so the swap is going to be difficult. Among having the black box I was considering getting a 411 PCM for the swap but I'm not sure how I'm going to manage hooking up all the dash and everything..is it possibly to pinout an connect the wiring harness to the 92 dashlights an keep a radio? And connect all the other wiring connectors? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to totally strip the Yukon an Tahoe wiring harnesses and use the tahoes wiring harness in the yukon.. how difficult is this gonna be, I feel like I'm over my head with all this.. I'm smart but this is gonna be a process.. just tell me it's possible lol

Any swap is possible with enough skill, space, time and money. I’m sure your particular swap has been done before, I haven’t done it specifically but have done several swaps and conversions in general. Researching these forums is a good place to start. I think you will find that swapping a vortec 350 into a non-vortec will be pretty straight forward, assuming your donor car is complete and had everything working proper. Yes, you should salvage everything and use as much of the 96 wiring as possible including the ECM, sensors, brackets & mounts, etc. Even gauges and other components like the dash and lighting fixtures will benefit from retrofitting up to the 96 rather than down to the 92, if you can make them work.

That’s not to say it won’t be difficult. If you don’t have intermediate to expert level skills and a solid understanding of both trucks and their differences, it will be very difficult. You will learn as you go, it will be time consuming and test your patience, organization and planning skills, and your tolerance. You will likely need to retrofit or fabricate brackets and mounts where they don’t exist, and keep the wiring whole as far as you can to its destination. In the end, as much as possible, the goal is to be able to ask for 96 parts at the counter instead of the 92. Keep that perspective as you work forward. But I’m sure it is something that many people have already done and is entirely possible.
