We put v8s in them all the time why not a 4.3? You just have to swap the computer,harness, and tranny out.

Another option would to be to put a 3.4 out of a 93-95 camaro. It bolts in where your old motor was, just use your 2.8 front cover and intake.

Either he is a mechanic that likes to tinker, or he is a terrbile mechanic and can't get it right, or his rig is a POS and needs lots of work. I guess what I am saying is that there are tons of reasons to be in the shop all the time.

there are a bunch of S10 with V8 in them, there is even a site dedicated to it.

As for your original question. Droppinga 4.3 or V8 in is the same amount of work. The 3.4L engine is your most affordable upgrade. GM even sells a 3.4L crate enine for this swap. They no longer sell the 2.8L engine. The 3.4L is a 2.8L bored out and produces 20% more power. A 4.3 will push about 50% more power then your 2putt8.
