For the 350 swap, look to JagsThatRun.com. They wrote the book on it.

The 2.2L to 4.3L is going to be... Fun... What is your donor for the swap into the S10? I ask because you are going to need A LOT off of the donor truck.

i dont think that its an actually book - more like a figure of speech. Second, search all the blazer and S-10 forum and there will be a lot of input. i think the 4.3 and 350 share a lot so it should not be so bad. the 2.2 to 4.3 swap will be a pain. i would suggest if these are your only vehicles you leave the 2.2 alone for a daily. but either way do a lot of research so you know the in and outs of everything before starting, that way there wont be as many surprises, but that is my 2 cents

No, they actually wrote a book and sell it. Just bite the bullet and buy it online or call them up and order it over the phone.

And your swap from the 2.2L to 4.3L is going to be a royal pain to do if you do not have a donor truck along side of it. There will be a LOT of stuff you will need to swap over. It would be great if someone had a list of exactly what is needed, but even a cursory search turned up little information.
