305/350 parts
 
Hello, i am new on here,hope everyone is having a good day.

First of all let me start by saying, i have 1989 Chevy K-1500 silverado 4x4 snow plow truck, with the way the weather is here in iowa i really need to get this truck going,having said that i also have a 1992 buick roadmaster with a 5.6 350 with very little miles 65,345 documented miles. after inquiring o nseveral other forums to ask if i could swap motors with no issues, either no one knew? or continually said yes you can,no you cant,yes you can! in lies my frustration.
If i cannot swap motors can i swap parts? because all the truck needs is an alternator and serpintine belt,but unfortunatley i couldnt get a straight answer with this question either! they asked me questions i dont know, is it LT1, is it TBI? i dont know. is there anyone anywhere is this universe that can help me? or do i just count my losses and junk both of them? which is what is about to happen.

Thank,Kevin.

wikipedia says the 1992 buick is LO5 TBI, same as your 89 k1500

Forgive me for being stupid but what does LO5 TBI mean?

LO5 is the engine RPO code

TBI = Throttle body injection
