S10 V8?

[yukon25008.1]

picking up a decent s10 reg cab 2wd with 4cly and 5spd now..' would really like to do a v8 and a 5 speed

never done this before but i know tons of people do it..' just curious whats the best way to do it..should i stay injected.. or would it be easier to go carberated and have less computer issues to deal with.. if i do an auto i figured a 4l60 or 4l80e.. if not whats a good 4 or 5 speed to go behind a v8....Thanks

I don't go by section, thus why I commented on the other thread. I just go to the top and click view new posts, and whatever pops up first, that's what I usually click.

I know a guy that did it. The 5.7 bolted right to his transmission, it had a 4.3 v6. The programming was not perfect but he said the original 6 cylinder computer worked. I would personally be sure to get the correct computer from the donor.

I have no idea, but I love your Yukon!

Try looking here for all of your LS swap questions. If a car can have an LS swapped into it, it has been done.

 

BTW, I love your idea. I would love to have a later model S10 with an LS in it. That would be killer.

Go with a 350, make sure you get the PCM. Get it from the scrap yard if you have to. The 4L60E is extremely easy to do. It's a straight swap..

What do you mean straight swap? i have a th 400 i was going to try. with a carburated 350

I mean if you get the same gen 350/PCM, all the sensors will work fine, radiator will do the job, fairly simple swap. Weekend project....TH400 should do it too but i think you'll need a different driveshaft due to the extra length.
