I have an 89' s-15 pickup with a 2.8L v6, 4wd, 5-speed manual transmission. I would like to convert it to a 4.3L or a 350. what is your opinion on this? where should i go to find out more about converting?

A friend went to all the trouble to re-power an S-10 with a 350 V-8. After doing so, his opinion (and mine!-definitely!!) was that it was not worth the trouble. The S-10 has very small brakes and poor handeling. The rear axle is also quite weak for the additional power. The front springs are not designed to handle the extra weight. The difference in performance between a regular SWB C-10 (full size) pickup with the same engine will not be nearly as much as you think, as the difference in weight when you are through will only be maybe 300-400 pounds. (Put 350 pounds in a regular C-10 pickup, and see how much it slows it down) JG

You can send it to a shop for a complete rebuild
Re: s10 350 motor trans swap	steve	9-4-08
What you will need to do is rip out the electronic transmission and install an older 700r4 or an older mechanical transmission the leignth should be the same for the 700r4 as your 4l60e that you currently have so it should pritty well fit right in. (you may need to modofy the shifter thoe)
