95 TBI 4.3 to vortec swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

About 4 months ago I picked up a 95 S10 with part of a 4.3 in it. The vin shows it was a tpi truck. The truck was repoed evidently while the PO was doing some work on it. Since the body is in exceptional shape I kept it and figured I would find an other engine later. And last week I stumbled into a 92 Blazer with a 4.3 vortec in it.

What will it take to swap the vorte engine into the little s10. I figure it will need a vortec computer. I know the blocks will swap over but the electronics have me bit cornffuzzled.
