Have a 1996 Chevy 3500 truck with a 350 vortex motor. Truck started running rough and doesn't have too much power. Have changed about all the emission parts along with electrical parts that book can mention plus checked fuel pressure but nothing seems to help. Cut into catletic convertors because of broken catlis inside but only one convertor had anything inside. The other one was totally empty but no evidence that it had been cut into before. Don't know what else to try.

You can't change the timing in this engine nor can you adjust the valves. The timing is adjusted throught the computer therefore there is no mechanical way to change this. You might be able to with some kind of programmer or computer program.

95 chevy s10 with a vortec v6. has a mis

The Vortec 4.3 liter V6 is notorious for problems with the fuel injector.One injector solenoid feeds all 6 injector nozzles,and sometimes one whole side of the engine will not get any fuel.See if you can smooth out the engine by spraying some starting fluid into the throttle body(remove the rubber hose from the throttle body).If this doesn't seem to make a difference,you may just be dealing with an ignition problem(cap/rotor/wires/carbon tracks on the spark plug insulators).

Engine swap 5.0 vortec to 350 non computer controled

The computer runs the Transmission from the signals the throttle position sensor, crank shaft sensor, and cam shaft sensor. Your going to have to replace the transmission with an older transmission like the turbo 350 or turbo 400. When it's time to get the car e-tested, that's when your going to run in to problems, due to the year your Chevy is. If your Chevy was a 1985 then you could go with the carb system but with being the newer OBD11 system, your going to have an off road only vehicle with that swap. Why would you want to replace the engine with the 350 carb set up??? There are things you can do to tweak the one in your Chevy free of charge.
