i have a 92 chevy g20 van witha 5.7liter v8. i have the opportunity to get a 5.3 liter vortec with tranny ecu, wiring harness ect. and i was wondering would this bolt in where the 350 rests now ? and if so , will the tranny length be the same ? if not what is needed ? i know id need a fuel pump as the new motor runs approx 60psi , where the 350 runs at like 6-9 psi , and electric fans, my question is fitment, all running aspects aside,will it bolt in with exsisting motor mounts ? is the tailshaft of the tranny the same in length to meet the driveshaft ? i know there the same spline. any and all help is greatly appreciated, i need no opinions, jus facts. thanks again , and i look forward to hearing from you !

bolt in -NO to get the 5.3 to work in your van is going to take a great deal of work and swapping and fabrication , and time and money

Since most (with qualifications) Chevy V-8's are similar, they are probably interchangeable. That being said, get out a tape measure and do a little measuring. The distance between the front of the engine to the motor mounts, bellhousing to transmission tailshaft, and height from motormounts to top of engine are all things you have to consider when doing an engine swap.
Of course, you should get the manual for both vehicles (the original van and the donor car) so you'll have some idea as to mountiing, rewiring, cooling sysytem, and any other aspects that will crop up. Good luck.

That's overwhelming dude! I would check your local dealer for compatability. Good luck!
