your going to need the trans from a 4.3 yours won't bolt to it.some of things you will need are the y-pipe,computer,motor mounts,wiring harness(not to sure on that one) and alot of time thats about the best i could say.

thanx joe..... i have decided to go 4.3 most of the motor is already gone, so the mini has now turned into a project!! to say the least

If I was doing a motor swap, why not drop a V8. Summit sells the kits for cheap! You could easily build a 500HP V8 small block that fits nicely in an S10 engine bay. Or, even better an LT4 =)

thanx john, it would be cool, but right now i have to use with what i can. and thats a 4.3 motor but i think that when the 4.3 needs a rebuild i'll sell that, and then go full power to a v-8

Why cant you get a V8? You can buy crate motors delivered to your door for a few G's. Just a thought. Anytime a motor is swapped, I say go for your dream motor!

i would like the same setup i had im my 86' z-28 5.7 v-8 350 turbo
