Default '93 Suburban Question

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and have a question. We are getting a '93 Suburban with a bad motor. It is my uncle's and he said if we can find a motor it's ours. I need to know which years of motors will be a direct drop-in with no modifications to make it fit. So, which years of other 350's would be a direct drop-in? Thanks.

Thanks. And yes they probably will but we just found out we could get this suburban yesterday and haven't had time to go around and check but since I can use a computer a lot more readily than going to a salvage yard to ask I figured I would ask here and get the info right away.

'87-95 should be a direct drop in, anything older and you will have to swap the heads or modify the 4 (2 on each side) innner holes on the intake.

Well we found a motor from an '87 Suburban that was rebuilt 10 years ago but only has 30,000 miles on it. It is also an EFI motor, and a 350. It should drop right in, correct? The guy said it's still in the Suburban so we could hear it run before we buy it.
