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 ?"

[T Man]

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

[383blaze]

wow,,your proud of them headers hu!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Hammer Head]

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.

CANT FIND MUCH INFO ON THE LS1/LS6 SWAP. FIND A FEW PARTS HERE AND THERE BUT NO SOLID ANSWERS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APRECIATED.

[Slaymanic]

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

[spideyjected]

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!!!

[spideyjected]

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:

[stealthsuper]

oooooo yeah cant wait to get started now... 383 stroker (425hp) full suspension... its gonna be good

[94bb468]

i make the mounts to convert to a small block they are quick and easy made of quarter inch steel. i use the stock clamshell uppers for a small block and get the lower for like a 78 malibu clasic with a 305 or 350 and bolt them to the plates i make. i mounted the big block in that way and fit like a glove after a little crossmember notching lol

[Zinso]

i have a 82 s10 long bed that has a 350 small block in it with a 350 turbo auto transmission...the body on it is really bad but i have a 90 s10 that is throttle body....can i juat yank everything out of the 82 and stick it in the 90 i know the drivetrain wont work its to long but couldnt the rest work.....

this was in the first post.






Your trans will bolt up to a sbc. Do you plan on carb swap or going with some kind of efi? You have a 4l60e so a new efi engine will be easier.
