v8 swap, gm's 60 degree v6 is the worst motor ever made, i went through 3 of them, one 2.8 and two 3.4, they are all notorious for thier weak bottom end. a v8 or a 4.3 v6 would be a faster, more reliable replacement

V8 conversion manuals, parts for V8 S10, Datzun Z, Jaguar, Chevy TPI & TBI, Colorado, Astro Van V8, Volvo 200 & 700 and www.V8S10.org are good sites for info on the swaps, just find a donor car with a carberated v8 and buy the swap headers and mounts, it's all nickel and dime stuff from there-sapper

Iv got everything needed for an S10-V8 swap:

0 mile rebuilt 350
Engine mounts
Head man headers
s10-V8 conversion book
S10-V8 oilpan
Rear end reposition brakets
bunch of other misc.

I paid $800 for the conversion stuff, Il take $600 obo or $2100 for the Engine and the conversion stuff.

Since you have a 2.8L S10 you will need a Tranny from a 4.3L S10 Truck/Blazer. I can also get almost Any part you need for that truck.
