@mr sunshine i need your mechanical prowess.
I have an '01 chevy s10. It came with a v6 and 4l60e transmission, basically a 700r4.
So i wanna take the v6 and swap with a small block v8, like an lt1 or ls1.
I know the bellhousing is the same and the tranny could handle the torque
But what might i have to do to the suspension? Hopefully an ls1 will fit as its about the same weight as the iron v6.. would i have to modify/push back the fire wall? I figure a radiator swap would be pretty easy. Any other real issues you can think of?
I might be able to go carbureted and rip out most of the computer crap
Some advice?
