Default 97 chev truck 4.3 swap to 98 s10 blazer

Will a motor from a 97 chev pickup (4.3L) work in a 98 S-10 blazer? The blazer's 4.3 is bad. What kind of problems can I expect with this swap? Is everything basically the same, or are there differences? Thanks

The 97 and 98 had completely different intake manifold and head designs, not to mention a different underhood layout. You can expect a lot of wiring problems, but otherwise the mounts should be pretty much in the same place.
