Trying to figure out how hard, how much, and what i would need to do to swap my 2.2L 4 cylinder in my 98' chevy s-10 to a 4.6L 6 Cylinder the truck right now is sittin at the shop waiting to be repaired... oil pump went out engine siezed up so debating puttin back a 4 or if i could get away wit puttin a 6 in wit out changing the tranny and computer any suggestions???

 

I hope you mean a 4.3L V6, and not a Ford 4.6 V8.

I'd definitely go with the V6, the 2.2 is so useless IMO. Underpowered FTL.

I'm sure you'd get more accurate responses as far as putting the engine in though, if this was in the GM Tech section. To the best of my knowledge, I think you could get away w/ the stock tranny, they might have used the same one for both engines. Not sure though, so don't hold me to my word.

 

Imput please!

 

Sall?

 

DONT DO IT!!!! If your going to go thru all that trouble drop in a 350 V8, Im about to do that on my 87 S-10 Blazer
