I purchased a 97 350 'r' motor for a 1995 GMC 4X4 truck with a 350 'k' motor, the engine did not have an intake manafold on it.  The mechanic stated that my intake on the old engine would not work on the newer engine.  But, they do make an intake that will allow you to keep the TBI setup currently on the engine and will bolt up to the new engine.  Anyone have any information/experience with this?

Also, does anyone know how much more difference in  power/torque there is between the two different years of motors?

Thank you for your assistance.

I am going to convert a 1995 GMC pickup 5.7L with a 5 speed manual to a 700R4.  How do I hook up the transmission so the convert will lock up as in a factory 700?  Is there any thing else I should be worried about?
