94 s10 blazer ls swap?
#2
You should be able to search and find some builds from people who have done this.
I can tell you from swapping a 94 LT1 v8 into my Trans Am that had a CC quadrajet 305, that there are a lot of variables depending on what you want to do.
If you want to keep EFI, and have everything work . . .then there will be some detailed wiring involved. Not impossible, but you will definitely need wiring diagrams for everything.
If you went carb'd it should be a little easier, but that wouldn't be my preference.
Since it's 2wd, I would say the fastest/easiest/cheapest way to do it would be to just get a complete drop out. . engine/trans/wiring/ecm. Then you can just drop in the full drivetrain as one unit. Those can be had from about $1300-1800 on ebay from what I've seen.
I believe with that method, you should only need engine mount brackets for the LS, and possibly a new drive shaft. Might need to modify trans cross member too, but I'm not sure.
Will need to do exhaust also, either custom y-pipe to stock manifolds (if they fit) or they do make swap headers. (also easier since you have 2wd) Oh and I think a set of electric fans, as I believe the mechanical fan hits the radiator with on most v8 swaps.
