Its been a while since i have posted on here. I did a lq4 swap on my 93 ecsb and now want to do an s10.
I found a good price on a 1st gen but its 4wd. I know anything can be done with the right amount of $. But was looking if adapters, headers, and whatever else is needed is available.
Any help is appreciated and i did a search, but seems like no one has any updates on their projects.
THANKS
im not trying to keep the 4wd, just want to do 2wd and see if its worth buying this s10
i wonder if you could fit AWD under that thing, it would hook!
yeah it would.
the engine thats in it though is the 2.8. I would have to get some kind of adapter for the bellhousing, that would prob not be possible
6.0, built 60e, astro/safari awd t-case. Muahuhahaha
sickness, that would be the name and soundtrack for a truck like that
Stalled, cammed and a little spray...hhhhhmmmmm. C'mon someones had to have tried this. I'm gettin this truck real cheap and want to make sure an ls can go in.
v8s10.com
x2 they make full kits that are ready to drop in
Already tried. All I see is the kit or adapters for an old sbc not ls
Alright i tried it and all i still see is sbc swap mounts/ adapters.
I did call summit and they said they have the adapters and it is possible. I just want to confirm from someone that has done the swap. I can only find swaps from the 4.3 4wd to ls but not 2.8 4wd to ls.
click on the link, it comes up with all of your ls motor conversion kit parts.
did you notice the part where it said LS1???
ok did a little thinking here. using the 2.8 mounts and ls adapters, will work. I dont what the hell i was thinking.
anyone know about oil pan clearance or headers.
I want to do a 5.3 with a 60e
judging from the pics on the site for 4wd headers they look like old sbc headers
Man I hate to sound like a deusch cause this DOES belong here but I think all your questions will be answered easier and faster on s10v8.com. - Check the forum
For some reason there isnt much info on s10 swaps on this site. Mostly just full size stuff. If you find the answer you should post it on here so that will change.
s10forum.com they have an LSX section and as far as the AWD part its been done many times. think of the sy/ty lsx conversion. many have 6.0/80e/AWD/turbo. not impossible but not cheap either. very very expensive. but a standard lsx swap isnt bad. hope this helps. gary
yeah i have searched and really cant find anything on s10forum but then again i did a quick search.
I have changed directions somewhat though. I have found a 2000 s10 2wd 2.2 with a knocking engine for $350. Only downside is, its a long bed. The body and interior are perfect. I'm suppose to get it Monday. If i do, I will post pics.
Thanks for the help
What you guys think about a long bed s10 with a 5.3, th350, stalled, cammed, and sprayed
Do it. It'll be BA. IMO long beds look good slammed as low as you can go.
yes you can do it, if you dont want to keep the 4wd its easy as pie, if you want to keep it you need to hack up an oil pan to fit. its actually easier to do the swap in a 4wd with the front diff removed because any oil pan fits.
any questions pm me.
for kits go to
s10v8.com -they do have them, mounts and headers, and a few other things.
currentperformance.com -they have anything and everything for that swap
carshopinc.com - they have mounts and headers
Here it is. got it monday night but haven't had time to post pics.

sweet. its got potential. I can just see it slammed with a tubbed bed, narrowed rear end and slicks.....
didnt read that part. in that case check out my build.(in sig) havent posted the recent updates on it on this site but I will soon. I wouldnt go with a th350 since you can build a 4l60e for cheap, but thats just my opinion.Quote:

headers-shorties can be had at currentperformance.com, s10v8.com, carshopinc.com, and ebay, sandersons fit perfect. mids can be had at brphotrods.com and fit with steering shaft modification. long tubes are also at brphotrods.com and fit well if your not running ac, though you will need to reroute brake lines.
any other questions just pm me or ask in my thread.
I think the long bed would look sick slammed over a set of slicks.
Chop it down into a shortbox
