Default what year has the best 12v for engine swap

im curious cuz i have a 94 chevy w/6.5 and just bought a running 97 12v for $1500, not the whole truck but everything i need to for the swap.

are there any little odd ball things things that i have to have that are located somewhere else besides under the hood or in the dash?

is it a five spd or auto, if its a 5spd you have the 215hp engine, honestly you stole its so it doesn't matter, but IMO a running 94-98 12v is worth about double that.

there is no bad 12v the 97 5 speed has a bigger pump on it than the auto or previous years for more fuel

dude you just got the best 12 valve made. the 97 with a 5 speed is an AWESOME score. Pat yourself on the back for that.
Shoot me an email from my profile. I'm off school for another week and I'm definately down to BS about the subject.
