85 S-10 pickup motor swap (1.9 to 4.3)
heres the run down. I got an 85 S-10 Pick-up with the 1.9l 4 banger, 4 psd manual tranny. the baby of s-10. I want more power from the truck by swaping motors. I debated a long time on what motor and found 2. the factory 4.3 V6 or a 4.3 (265 CID) V8 baby lt1. my questions are....
1. What are the specs on both motors factory? (they arent stayin factory)
2. What would be the best fuel delievry system? (right now its a mechanical pump mounted to the camshaft)
3. Would i have to modify the frame at all to accomidate the new motor mounts?
4. What would be the best 5 sp manual tranny for either motor and where would i find it?
5. Would i have to upgrade the rear end? If so, to what?
And if all esle fails, what can i do to the 1.9 to get some more balls out of it?
