The older engine is OBD1 and your truck is OBD2. I would find a newer OBD2 engine.

car and truck engines are designed differently , you may replace the engine and then the tranny would go .These things can snowball . Fuel and brake lines could be done when the drive train is out .

Well, I know a lot about CHEVY'S and GM'S. First, honestly believe that the Buick has the OBD II, and not the OBD I. Plus, I know, and understand that car motors have less horsepower. But this specific Roadmaster has a '94 LT1 5.7 litre Corvette engine. Which is basically a truck motor. I also know that GM aka CHEVY bellhousing to back of the motor are interchangeable. I could be wrong on the OBD PORT. I'm just wondering if it could be done, and how much work would be involved? On the other hand, when my nephew turned 16 that was his car. Well he somehow melted the fuse block. My dad drove it over to my house back in 2014-15. I tried to get running it would only crank, but not fire up.
