first of all , ur gonna spend some cash on the right type of engine. i think the standard answer ull get on here would be a 6.0, however u wont reach 350 horses with a stock 6.0. ull need a tune for sure, allen nelson can take care of that, and yeah ur gonna need a wiring harness. go ahead and try to get a 6.0 with a tranny and keep in mind u may have to have ur driveshaft cut and rebalanced if the length from ur tranny to ur rear end changes. u may need to make a few adjustments with the fan assembly, so go ahead and add efans to take care of that problem. good luck finding headers for it also, as ur frame will be different than what they will be setup for from the header company. get a PCM with the engine as well. ull prob need custom motor mounts, and fuel lines, and possibly a new tranny dipstick/filler tube as there may not be room between the firewall and ur engine for the stock one to work. a new intake would probably be in order since the stock one is a POS, and a normal kit for that engine isnt made for that truck. a new rear end would probably be a safer bet, since the stock rear end wasnt made for that type of power. to put it flatly to u, ull be looking at a lil more than 450 bucks to get all this stuff done, try 4-5 grand in my estimations. u can save money doing it urself, but make sure u know what ur doing, otherwise ull cost urself money in the long run.

A good source of info on S-10 swaps is the JTR site (Jags That Run).

Without knowing your mechanical abilities, it is impossible to determine what might be "easy" for you. However, if you are on a limited budget, ANY swap, fuel injected or not may cause you to be without your ride for longer than you may want.

BTW, if you are looking for quality responses to your questions, you might try using some punctuation to make your messages a bit easier to read...

Oh, and you should avoid double posting (posting the exact same question in multiple threads or areas)

[evo1586]

ok well first i&#39;ll say sorry for the double post

next i will say i know a bit about cars and i&#39;m not stupid when it cums to workin on them i have dont some engine swaps on astro vans before including my dads mustange with i put the 5.0 in

i&#39;m just tryin to see what fits in the ezest without haven to modifie the hole car u know i want something thats pretty much a get and bolt on if its posable so is it ?

on thats site u gave me the ezest swap is a 1982-1992 camaro v8 swap witch is what block tho ? and would i have to change anything with the wiring harness

[kwkenuf]

No, I&#39;m sorry to say that a S-10 V-8 swap is not a drop in and go.... However, there are kits available to put a conventional Gen I small block in a S-10. And where ever you can put a Gen I engine, a LSx engine will fit as well.

You&#39;ll have issues with exhaust, engine cooling and depending on your engine choice (carb or injected) fuel and wiring issues too. None insurmountable. If you buy (and read) the JTR book you&#39;ll have a good idea of what your headed for so you can get (most) of your stuff purchased before you turn 1 wrench.

To answer your questions directly:

No, it is not a "get and bolt on" type of deal

Yes, you will have to modify your harness somewhat. If you choose a fuel injected engine you will have to modify it more.....

The reference to 82-92 Camaros implies a traditional Gen I small block... however be forewarned. If you are not planning on modifying your choice before dropping it in place, these years Chevy produced some of the weakest V-8 power plants imaginable.... Things started to improve in 89 but they are still weak sauce compared to a modern LT1 or LSx based engine.

Have you done any reading or web searches to gather info? Or are you looking for spoon fed step by step guidance?. Your question of "how much work would need to do it" is rather vague and impossible to cover in the context of one forum response. There are lots of S-10 swaps posted on the internet... Start doing some research to get a better idea of what your options are. Here&#39;s a sample of a Google search I did just by typing in S10 swap. The Chevy High Performance article is particularly noteworthy for a novice. I suggest reading it and following other links that may interest you.

If you have basic mechanical skills you may be challenged by a fuel injected V-8 swap. But with time, you&#39;ll be able to work through it. If you have more in depth experience, then you should be aware that any motor can be installed in any vehicle with the proper skills, parts and enough money.....

We&#39;ve already discussed that you will have to modify your cooling system, wiring, and exhaust in addition to revising your mounts. This is standard for any non-stock engine swap. If you are looking to install a late model LSx engine you &#39;ll most likely need to upgrade your fuel pump also.

Are you looking for a step-by-step guide? If so, there are books written on this particular subject (JTR) and no amount of internet forum guidance can help you more than a book written specifically for your particular application.....
