Welcome to AF kisle23

You'll need a motor from around the same year truck, and 2.8L motor mounts.
About a month of spare time and weekends.
A fair amount of extra money for parts and or the ability to make your own.

Your transmission will work with the V8

You might find a V8 S10 for less money, although you won't have the satisfaction of doing the job yourself then

Good Luck, and take pic's as you go

it should be a 4.3 being an 89, am i correct?

He sayes 4.3L in the title, although I believe that the 2.8L was listed as an option until somewhere around 92 in the S10.

I really don't think that too many people got the option after the introduction or the 4.3L, but I might be wrong.

www.s-series.org has all kinds of information on this subject. Its pretty easy if you do it right and spend a bit more money and you can use any SBC.

I know that www.s-series.org is a good forum, but in my opinion someone on AF should do a how to on the subject.
Including Pic's.
I know that it'll be a big how to, but worth it
