I have been offered a 1994 4 wheel drive suburban that was total lost yet runs and drives. I would like to do a V8 conversion on my 1993 S10. Is this a pretty straight forward swap? I like stock looking conversions, and would definitely rebuild engine and transmission, as well as any recommended upgrades to make it perform well. Such has cam, maybe Vortec heads. I like TBI . I would like 300HP if realistic and a daily driver. Thanks

 

Pretty straight forward swap. Do your research though.

 

That is what I have found. In doing research, it appears that motor mounts, cooling fans, exhaust manifolds and work are the main ingredient.
My question mainly is that if I didn't want to move my radiator forward, has anyone with practical experience know if having the two cooling fans pushing are enough? Am I looking at modifying my radiator support and putting puller fans as well as a pusher (or two) for my southern climate and AC being my main concern?
