Well if you have the shorter version of the rather long radiator shroud on the 4.3-liter engine, you have one thing less thing to deal with. Since both vehicles use OBD II so that makes this much easier to do. You'll need to match the exhaust system up and possibly switch ECM's but it should turn out well, as you have both vehicles, IMO.
