Engine Swap

hey nobody has really been able to answer me on the s10 threads so i figured id ask you guys. i have a 1988 s10 4x4 with a 2.8. ive heard some people say that it is difficult to swap out the 2.8 and put a chevy small block in. Can anyone tell me if this is true, and how hard of a job it would be. thanks for any help.

Its hot hard. Ive seen many v-8 s10's . they were all 80's models tho.

EDIT: I couldnt tell you EXACTLY how to do yours, since yours is 4x4

here is an article

yea for some reason i heard its harded because it is 4x4, idk why it would b though

We're doing it to my father in laws S10 and he even found a step by step book on how to do it.

The oil pan hitting the axle would be my guess.

they make a special oil pan for it http://www.parts.s10v8.com/product_info.php/cPath/27/products_id/48?osCsid=789be50bcca9b0a97c821cd958570fe8
