Hey My cousin has a 2000 s10 with a screwed 4.3L v6 me and him are thinking of getting and 350ci engine and transmission from a scrap yard and tossing it in for something to do but we need some advice on motor mount locations and electrical connections we want to run a carb and we are wondering about the driveshaft and rearend gotta beef it up ?"
motor mount locations?
Carb is fairly easy to hook up. You will need a fuel pressure regulator to drop your pressure from the 40's down to no more than 8psi. The problem you will run into is you will have to install aftermarket gauges. Your gauges in your truck now go through the computer. If you go carbed you will loose your computer, and thusly your gauges. Driveshaft shouldnt be a problem and neither will the rear end.
More info later

If you wanna pay those prices, fine.. I've got those same headers up for sale (NEW), w/ couplers I made & mounts. All for about $100 less than those headers alone. http://www.s10planet.com/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=3124

I'm am proud of them, they're a beautiful set, I just decided not to do a gen I small block & payin out a buttload of cash to find out that the headers don't fit angle plug heads was the last straw. I can take the $100 loss, that's fine. But I really need to recoup some of my money & pass them on to a better home. I will say I have only used painted headers in one application, ceramic in everything else, & let me tell you they are so much nicer lookin & don't discolor, underhood temps stay down.

I asked the same question in the V8 forum the LS6 according to Auto-X will fit just have to get the oil pan to squeeze in otherwise a LS1 should be cake
Is it tons easier to V8 a rear wheel drive than a Four by? I kind of want to make a stock looking sleeper out of a 95 on body style. I'm looking to make it fairly quiet too, adding to the sleeper thang. What are good fairly quiet performance mufflers? This is my immediately following the completion or demise of the Blazer project, project. How about an all wheel drive Bravada? can that driveline handle abuse? I kind of like the rear wheel drive though. It is always fun to put it sideways as you STAND ON IT!!!
Ofcourse with all these great ideas, my wife says it's a good thing I've got her to keep me out of trouble)0:
