I got a 99 Suburban. Block is cracked where the

The electronics would be the main problem- the engine management system changed over those 10 years-

Here is the problem, the 89 block will need your 99 upper end (heads and intake). The problem with that is the 99 heads with the 89 pistons will make your compression ratio pretty high, sonewhere like 11:1. You really should find another vortec block 96+
