Mattsv8 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 mounts for that swap use the 2.8 rubber mts and a plate that bolts to the motor. those are about 80 bucks, i have a motor with 500 miles on it out of my blazer if u want a fun motor with some power 350" stock bearing sizes and bore, great lil motor but its 12.5:1, jegs hyd cam, ported double humps, new bearings, rings, and hone, about 1200 in parts and labor to do the motor work. id sell the whole engine for 1000 and if you need less compression id help to find a flat top and install it to drop compression down to 10:1 or so. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/89%20blazer%20project%20blaze/SSPX4117.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/89%20blazer%20project%20blaze/SSPX4114.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/89%20blazer%20project%20blaze/SSPX4124.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Mattsv8_03/89%20blazer%20project%20blaze/SSPX4095.jpg have much more info if you are interested, id have to say total cost of a swap for a v8 s10 proably about 3000. if you can find the parts cheap enuf.

Mattsv8 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 tranny crosmember can usualy be modded to work. expecially if u keep the 700r4. the mounts keep the trans in stock location. but it does move the motor forward wich takes up space in the front. some times u have to mod the core support to move rad forward sometimes u can just get buy with a short water pump and a electric fan. s10s have a short engine bay so space is tight. my blazer used the stock crossmember with the stock 700r4 when this motor was in it. worked great and drove nice. i wanted to spray it so i put my old 12.5:1 nitrous motor that was in my s10 into the blazer so i have this one just sitting wasting space.
