You could, but, the amount of work, would be astronomical. You would need the entire computer system from the 01, as well as the fuel system, and tranny settup. The major change took place in 2000, when they upgraded the computer systems, to accomodate the OBD 2. The newer computer systems control EVERYTHING. The newer motor will not run without it. I would take the wiring harness from the 01, as well. That will save you a ton of headaches. And, all of the dash, as it is all electronically controlled, and helps monitor all of the engine functions, via the computer. In fact, after 2000, the gas pedal does not even connect to the motor, as previously. The computer controls it. It is called "drive by wire."

where is the pcm module located on my 1997 Chevy truck
From the factory, YES.
About $14.00 for a good 1.
NO. And it won't work in the place of the 97 350 vortec.
The ground strap on a 1997 Chevy Blazer 4.3 Vortec is located along the bottom of the engine near the frame. It ensures that electricity flows properly through the entire vehicle.
Yes it will fit and set right in place with NO problem. The problem is that the 95 engine is not compatible with the wiring harness, The PCM / Powertrain Control Module/computer on the 1997 model truck. The fuel pump would have to be change too. I could probley name some more things too. You need a VORTEC engine from 1997 to 1999 so you don't have to change are MODIFY anything.
yes, but it wont handle the torque very long.
No, sorry.
Cap and rotor, yes. Points, no.
