Hopefully someone here can help me on this one.

The 4.3L VORTEC engine seized in my 1995 GMC Jimmy SLS. I've heard from everyone that I've talked to that the 4.3L VORTEC in that year of Jimmy can only be replaced by the exact same year and model. I know there are hundreds of 4.3L VORTEC's out there, but very few 1995 ones. The ones I have found are priced extremely high compared to all the other years, even newer motors with less miles on them!

Can I replace this motor with any other 4.3L VORTEC out there? If so, what ones? Does anyone out there have one around they no longer need? HELP!!!

The 4.3L VORTEC I have is the top mounted distributor, located right behind the intake manifold.

Thanks in advance.
Jim
