about swaping motors
As you can see I really don't know about domestics that much but I'm getting to know them a little better what kind of kit do I need to use in order to get a v6 to fit in the 2.3L s-10 1985. (that would be the 4cyl motor in it) Also I don't want an auto I want to keep it a manual tranny what kind of tranny can I bolt on to that motor and what kind of work are we talking about doing as far as cutom making motor mounts and etc. Thanks for your help and I hope to hear from you all soon

personally I don't know if that engine has been put into an S-10 I know that the scyclones had a turbo 4.3. Which comes to my next idea, if the 4.3 fits then I'm sure the 3.8 will

You would have to mod everything to get it to work. Also, a GN motor + a stick shift = a slow Turbo motor. Go with the automatic.

very correct. A turbo engine is bad with a sick. When I said it would fit, I ment it would accually fit. Not that it would just bolt right up
