What do I need?

pickleweasle69 · 10-07-2009, 01:24 PM

Whats up! Im doing a carburated V-8 swap in a 98 s-10. I Believe I have the correct headers for the swap but theres no part # or Manufacture on them. I need to know if stock 4.3 frame mounts will work and what motor mounts I would need if not the stock 4.3? Also what oil pan I should use with this?

i know they have mounts, and radiators and what not.

not sure about the oil pan, you might have to get your driveshaft shortened.

need a tranny too.

I'm not sure yet. What tranny would you recommend for a highway driven truck from what I understand my truck has 3.73 gears which I know is kinda short for a turbo 350 or 400. But i've heard alot of bad things bout a 700R4 not holding up but it will be a stock small block.

90blueS10 · 10-07-2009, 02:08 PM

if its stock a 700r4 should be just fine, as long as you dont drive the piss out of it

id stay away from a 350 or 400 if you plan on driving highway.

i said if you plan on driving highway.

a th-350 is a 3 speed transmission. That means no overdrive, where as a 700r4 is a 4 speed

thanks for the tip, i do do highway driving and i was about to buy a rebuilt 350 with shift kit.
also which vehicle came with the 700r4 and does it bolt up to a 350 with out mods.

LSx w/ a carb? or SBC carb?

4L60 is a good trans!

charliepickup22 · 10-07-2009, 03:51 PM

looking at 350 carb but just not decided maybe 5.3 vortec. i have 4l60e not 4l60 my tranny has a comp. i dont think i want to deal with reprograming a tranny.oh yea dude sorry to whore your tread its that every time i read something that im about to buy and hear its not the best idea i ask questions quick. so that i dont burn my money

pickleweasle69 · 10-10-2009, 06:09 PM

No prob! So is a 700 r4 a 4 speed or a 3 speed overdrive? Or would a 4l60 be a better choice cause I plan on building the 350 a lil but not at first but I also don't wanna buy a 700 r4 then turn around in a year or so and buy something diff. and is the 4l60 an computer controlled tranny or only the 4l60e?

700r4 has 4 gears and lockup (if used)

If you're really going carbed I'd go with 700r4. You can however run the 4l60E if you want be the trans has to be computer controlled.
