    Putting a 97 vortec ECM into a 96 truck

    Is this possible? My buddy has a 96 5.7L half ton and wants me to tune it. So I was curious if I could take a 97 5.7L ECM and put it in his truck and then tune it???

    Let me know what you think

    GM makes pcm's compatible alot of the time but its in no way 100% going to work.

    Example

    97 camaro v6 pcm's can be swapped into 96's
    05 grand prix v6's into 06's, etc.

    but its luck of the draw really, first the connectors would need to be the same, as do all of the pins if I'm not mistaken.
