I have a 1997 gmc sierra 4x4 with a 350 vortec, I recently put a 1996 chevy suburban 350 vortec in it but now it idles rough and is running really rich and is getting horrible gas mileage, I had it pluged into the computer and several codes popped up, could the computer not be correct for a 96 model engine?
 
Yes it the same computer that was on the truck. The first time it was plugged in it said #1 fuel injector was bad so I replaced it and there was no change so I got it plugged in again(on a differant computer reader) and it said throttle possition sensor, multiple misfire, and several oxygen sensors and the guy that plugged it in said the computer may be differant.
 
You might need to format the vortec that you are using, if you fail to do so i suggest get it formated by a professional.
