305s are perfect for an s10. They respond well to cam upgrades as well. I'm in the process of putting a 350 in mine right now. The 4.3 dipstick should work in the pan. I made my pan by cutting both pans between the 1st and 2nd bolts past the dipstick kickout and then pie cutting the front of the pan on both sides and welding it together. Use a melling filter adapter #mfa350, and a pf454 oil filter. Good job kid!
Should put all details in description, easier than reading every darn comment. That's pretty bad ass tho. Dang near just toss in a 350 tbi motor and I'm good to go.

Considering dragging this pile out of a field, I have an nv4500 i could toss in it but not sure if I should. I like s10s but the mini blazers I never have. Just trying to have a reliable vehicle with reliable motor.
Well I have a nice short bed no rust 1985 s 10 4x4 I'm glad I ran across ya taking a 2.8 out putting in 350 small block. Any info on tricks of the trade please help me out. Did you have to lift the from for motor weight. Thanks.
Getting ready to do this same swap. I've done it before, but have never retained the fuel injection. Did you use the stock 4.3L computer that was in the truck or did you use the computer from the donor truck for that engine? Thank you.
Nice job. Would a body lift have made the instal easier? And on the dip stick, just fill engine to capacity and mark your stick after you cut it down..?
Not sure if you are still taking Questions... I plan on putting a Chevy 327/5.3 into my 1995 Sonoma 4WD, I have a manual transmission so the Engine/Transmission/Transfer Case combination will be from 3 different vehicles. Is there a way to figure out if they bolt together without just trying to connect them? I'd like to strip it and put it back together in a short time period. Thanks! Any updates on how yours worked out?
The 5.3 will connect to an older transmission with a flywheel adapter, should be able to Google it. As far as transfer case to transmission, it depends on the which ones you are using. Just need to do some research on each specific piece
Did you have any issues with retaining the column shifter? I've heard due to clearance issues, some people move to a floor shift 700r4. I'm going to be doing a 350 swap soon on my 89 S10 4x4 (4.3) and I'm just trying to check every little thing off the list before I start dropping the motor in..
Thank you, I've read that online as well and glad you confirmed it. I feel as though I can live with that haha I'll be doing this over the next month or so, I'm glad to see you're quick to reach with some oddball questions!
Manifolds are easier especially on the 4x4s and there isn't a header kit out there that you won't have difficulty with on the driver side on either 2wd or 4wd. If you want to do a swap like this and want it as easy as possible go with manifolds
Great video and thank you for being so responsive. I have 91s10 blazer 4x4 with 4.3. what engine frame mounts and engine plates are you using? It looked pretty straight forward thank you
how long do the 2.8L motor mounts last with the V8 torque is it a good idea to replace the rubber inserts in the motor mounts with energy suspension replacement polyurethane inserts for high performance engines thanks for the video. great job
monster mechanic 2000 they should last as long as any other incapsulated rubber mounts. If it's a daily, I won't is the poly mounts, they don't give, makes it feel like you have solid mounts. Thank you.
Where did you get that upper radiator hose? I have a problem with mine in that it goes over my alternator and it looks like s**t, also I'am sure it is making my alternator much hotter than it needs to be. not to mention it is being squashed by the hood. Any help would be much appreciated "THANKS"

monster mechanic 2000 did you watch my 2wd video? The 2wd is a piece of cake, compared to the 4x4. Not including the engine, I had about 500 in the swap, that's with a new radiator. On the 4x4, it cost more, because I had to buy an oil pan and pick up. Thank you for your complement on the video.

Well it runs rich, the 2.8 mounts are the only way to go, unfortunately I don't have the remote filter yet, I have to drop the axle to change filter. I don't have clearance issues with my pulleys, fits fine.

I did a V8 s10 swap I can't get mine to fire up and run do you think you can help me out with some pointers
I'll try
@@mount27 I had power to my fuel pump and injectors and I lost it all before I was able to get the distributor in all the way
@@johnschwarz6564 if you lost power, check fuses, look for loose connections. Was the battery hooked up while still installing parts, might have blown fuses or wires.
@@mount27 I checked all my fuses I'm trying to chase down wires do the be possible that the timing is out?
@@johnschwarz6564 wouldn't cause you to loose power. Just wouldn't fire at the right time

Thanks man !
What oil pan did you use?
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F390825295689. It didnt fit the engine, without modifications to the interior of the pan.
I have a 93 that was a 4.3 4l60e truck original. Now it's a 350. Same 4l60e. But my shifter linkage is hitting the headers. Anyone know what to do about it?
Dent the header
@@mount27 it's hitting right on the welds where the runners meet. I can't.
@@devillenm5525 can you adjust (bend) the linkage?
@@mount27 im not sure yet. Im going to figure out what I can do. I will go into overdrive. But i have to make it. And i don't think i can get it past overdrive.
what oil pan did you order?
mike stolz Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/390825295689
mount27 thanks for the info.
So the original oil pan will not work? It's out of 1991 Suburban.
@@mount27 did you have to change the oil pump too
@@jesusolivares1234 no, just the tube.
Trans? 700r4
Yes
Oil filter need to be relocated
@@mount27 already have a plate with fitting my dad made to accept the lines from the stock oil filter remote mount
Did your Trucj have a 700r4 trans?
Yes
I have a 1987 Jimmy s15 4x4 it's 60 degree motor will a 305 just bole up to the transmission?
@@corbinsmith501 no
What will I have to do in order to make that trans work with a 305
@@corbinsmith501 . Can't, you will need to get a trans for a 90 degree engine.

So you wanted to make a better video but yet you showed pretty much nothing lol
Happens...lol. I'm no artist! Just like you, my mouth was bigger than my ass. If you took the time to comment, you probably seen all the comments where this helped someone. Have a nice day
@@mount27 Sorry I just don't understand If you take the time to make a video go step-by-step really help people And show them how to do it And my mouth aint big I just state the obvious!
@@merrittmcdowell8675 I had the use of the shop for a limited time, and I was by myself for everything except setting the engine. I couldn't get that done, so I had to get help. I had to have it done by a certain time, so I had to do more work, than talk. Which is unfortunate.
@@mount27 How about adding narration Like as you go through the video pause it and explain what you're doing step-by-step Even though you didn't have the time to show it at least it's tried to explain some of the finer details
What headers are you using
