copperhead Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 you sure it's a V6? If so, then it's a chevy 2.8 that you can find out of just about any S-10. Otherwise, it's the 4.0 I6, which is also fairly common. If you've got the 2.8, I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to the 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_tris Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah only problem upgradeing it is that I have to get a different tranny,rearend,driveshaft I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I believe all you would need is a different bellhousing, MAYBE motor mounts, and harness. For a little bit of work, you are making a serious improvement. If you really want a 2.8 though, just go to U-Wrench-It, 2.8 S-10's are all over the place there.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 been a while since I worked in swaping chevys but isn't the 4.3 a bolt in even to the bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 i believe the 4.3 and 2.8 have nothing in common, but i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.3 shares it's pattern with the small and big block chevy, the 2.8 uses a different pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
