Im in the process of doing a book on my install right now! I have a 02 s10 with a ls6 and fbody accessories.I have already done a ls1 in a 88 s10 blazer. not as bad as you think. just remember. by doing an older s10 makes the resale drop. if I are planning on selling it. I would do a 95 and up.that just my .02 , I practally gave mine away for $7000.
