Okay, So i have my S10 Blazer that I bought this summer and I want to take out the 2.8 and put a Chevy V8 in it. Either a 305 or 350. I have heard to get the kit for it to be much easier but what kit and where? I know I'll have to change a lot over but I think it's worth it. I want a manual Transmission and i want to keep the 4X4 option. How hard is this swap going to be and what all am i going to have to do for it?

I can't seem to find the answers on the search.

Thanks
Zachary

 

Its really not that bad. I spent most my time finding and waiting on parts. Get a radiator out of a 4.3. Gonna need camaro manifolds or custom headers. Motor mount adapters. New Y pipe off exhaust. New driveshaft. That's all I can think of. Buy the conversion book too

 

http://jagsthatrun.com have a conversion manual and the parts you'd need.

 

dont you have to beaf up the suspension/rearend?

 

eh i never did i only ran stock tires so no need to. if youre gonna be running 500hp and slicks then yeah it would be a good idea. but a stockish 350 shouldnt be to bad on a stock s10 rear axle
