Is this engine swap possible?

I totaled my 91 gmc sonoma with the 2.8 engine, and was wondering if there is any possible way to put that engine in a 93 1500 with the 4.3 in it. I have never had a better running, more reliable, decent gas mileage engine than that 2.8. Even after totaling the truck and dislocating the engine it still runs and drives. I know the 2 have basically the same wiring, just different computer. But what about the engine mounts, will they match up? The other major concern obviously is the trans. the 1500 has a nv3500 5 speed. what are my chances of mating that to the 2.8?

    A 2.8 is Wayyyyy too small for a fullsize truck!

    Even the 4.3 was underpowered for a fullsize.

    Source(s): have a 92 1500 Silverado with the 5.7
