In today's video, I'll be pulling the 4.3L V6 from my '89 S10 in order to make room for a 350 SBC (5.7L) V8! Everyone's feedback on the project in the last episode was taken into consideration and I very much appreciate it! I'll be incorporating many of your ideas throughout this series to create one sweet truck. There's still a lot to figure out, so let's take it one step at a time. In the last video, I did a complete teardown of the front end, which is going to make everything I'm wanting to do so much simpler. With the engine out, I can move forward with more restoration content too! It's going to be awesome!

Suggest replacing that center bearing on the driveshaft while its out.
Functional Upcycle Agreed, just weighing whether I’ll do it myself or take it to a shop. I’ve heard they aren’t very fun to replace. Any advice is appreciated!
I cant speak for the older S10 but on my 04 silverado and my 2000 F350 it was fairly simple. If you have a press its a lot easier but not necessary. It would make a great video as those are known to go bad at higher mileage.
I'll look into it, thanks a bunch!
@@saabkyle04 HAPPY NEW YEAR 2 U AND YOUR FAMILY!! :D
RIP 4.3 😩 Hello 350 🤩
350 back in the day was decent, now with all the LS based engines Its kinda pointless, junkyards have tons of em and are a better platform to build off and love boost.
I've lost track of how many of these squarebody s10 type trucks you have but I love them all haha! I'm excited for what's next!
Me too bud me too LOL. Thanks a lot!
Kyle, Your enthousiasm in your videos is contagious.
Much appreciated!
And i have to thank you again for NOT using jump cuts in your videos!
Finally...NOT a LS swap but a classic small block Chevy V8...Kyle, I love this idea man!
I can't wait to do my 350 Swap on my 95 S10, I've been trying to find a good 350 TBI tho and haven't been having any good luck 😢
I totally understand the merits of LS swapping things, but there's also the added degree of complexity when it comes to wiring, tuning, etc since it's mostly run off of electronics. The 350SBC is just so simple, there's something to be said about that too.
Whenever you replace those rear tires you better upload a video of you roasting of whatever is left of em
OnyxBlad3 💪🏻😎
That 350 SBC looks awesome!
I really like it so much. Looking forward to the development of this project.
Thanks pal! It'll be a beautiful truck when it's done!
@@saabkyle04 Anytime!
I have that same truck. Daily driver, 290,000 miles and still running strong.
Keep the videos coming I really enjoy them thank you for your time and sharing 😁😁
Perfect Birthday gift!! Thanks Kyle!!
Nice work. Same swap on my blazer, it's a 93 4 door 2wd. Kept it carbureted, TH350. Smooth overall swap. I did install Speedway tubular upper control arms, for the extra clearance on Patriot headers. Still have exhaust to build. Thanks for the encouragement, I want to fire it up and take it around the block with open headers now. ✌
This is exciting, you’re on a roll! Great way to start the year👍🏻
Heck yeah!! Thanks for watching!
Happy New Year Kyle, and every year you are the best ..
You too my friend!
I'm really liking this series! Keep up the good work man and i can't wait to see that 350 in there!
Thanks a lot Joe!
I love your enthusiasm! It motivates me to get some tools & work on my ride!
Jonahsride Thanks dude! Best of luck!! 🙌🏻
I'm more of an El Camino person, but this 350 swap in an S10 is getting me excited!
Dude, El Caminos are awesome, I'd love to own one someday!
@@saabkyle04 And I'd LOVE to see you build one! I'm currently in the process of building and restoring an '82 Conquista to more of an SS spec, since a previous owner had swapped in a 327.
I m very excited to see this done
Me too! Going to do as much of this myself as I feel comfortable.
Really looking forward to this series as I am looking to replace the 4.3 in my Sonoma GT with a SBC and original accessory brackets. I may go with a Holley Sniper FI setup instead or trying to get the old FI system to work.
Looking forward to this. The Typhoon will need a 4.3 rebuild, but that's being budgeted for currently. I want that one done 100% right.
I absolutely love these trucks and love working on them. I wish I was around to help!
👍👍👍 Good use of a furniture dolly. I never would have thought of that.
Yeah man, I was pretty stoked about that!
Love hearing the rain on the roof btw
Enjoyed the video these trucks seem easy to work on.
Awesome video Kyle!
Thanks Andrew!
Soooo cool Kyle, looking forward to this series
Thanks dude!
MotorScotti finally working on my trans am just painted the intake tonight
Great video, I'll be doing the same to my s10 soon!
awesome video can't wait the next video
Solid work and with much enthusiasm, capturing the DIY atmosphere, do like those S10 trucks, and altough a dream currently, still a good 'attainable' choice of vehicle, as you say. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
@@saabkyle04 😎 I a going to pinch myself for quite a few days that this, yes, actually (italics) has happened, thank you for the response Sir, very much appreciated, now onto more garagetime and a new beverage sponsor for coffeebreaks; just a thought!
Heck yeah man!! You hit the nail on the head right there. I just got a small coffee pot for my shop, it's putting in overtime LOL. Thank you again!!
@@saabkyle04 dear SK04, before we go on topic, may I just say; wowzers, thank you.
Just came back from a walk, here's some more input if you'll allow me: does O'reillys have a coffee corner? Maybe, if yes, there could be a tie in right there. Or, you have a favorite brew in the shop, good start! (rain on tin roof, brrr) also an option, and lastly:
new segment 'SAABKyle04's Koffee Krawl', whereby you roll up in IDK, the GMC Jimmy, YES!!, have a taste test plus, invite fellow UA-camrs. ChrisFix comes to mind, that would be great. Okay, longest exchange in YT history, I'll now stop. Input from fellow subscribers much anticipated, thanks 👍!
I wanna see that crew cab man.
I'm at a standstill on that truck for now. I've learned that I just don't have the capacity to work on multiple projects at the same time, especially when one is so custom like the crew cab. Progress will be made, but it'll be slow as the custom work will take time and a significant amount of money. I have to prioritize this truck for now because it's easier for me to make content on at the moment.
@@saabkyle04 its all good bud! Regardless we enjoy all the content! Keep up the hard work! Hope you guys are moving along with the house as well! Im going to get to that point eventually. Wanna build my dream house for me and my family! Got alot of questions on what you have had to deal with in you're process building. That would be Great content as well man. Just a review on where you are at on it!
@@CodywellerMemes Me too man, It's like he Teased us with it and now he doesn't want to show it to us again Lol........
COOL S10 Restomod Ep.4
Love your videos keep up the great work
Thank you!!
I’m gonna enjoy watching this build I need to buy me one of these style trucks
This is awesome
Nearing the end of my 350 swap into my gbody! It's taken forever but every step counts!
Some old school billets, 2/2 drop, 80s Monte Carlo SS Steering box, simple but taste full interior but a steering wheel to match the old school billets and I think you’re set!
Yeah man! It'll be something similar to that! I'm doing a 3/4 drop with a Borgeson quick ratio steering box, Monte SS N90 wheels, etc. It'll be sweet!
Saabkyle04 oh yeah, that is gonna be hot!
Good job and congratulations
Thank you Stan!
Nice job brother!
Thanks!!
Thumbs up !!!!!! Keep the 🎥 coming
You got it buddy!
Get er done!
🤘😎🤘
16:16" LOL, rock on!
Nice!!
Thanks!
Wow that rain is comin down pretty good! Was real bad here in Apex NC the other night
It was a gully washer for sure haha
If you ever need help with a project let me know! I’m close I think
You got it!
I have waiting for these videos for so long. I’m glad to see someone that has the same interest and skill level as me. I can finally relate to these videos
Thanks for the support!
Good job.
Thanks John!
Good job
Thanks!
I would suggest keeping the 4.3 V-6, rebuilding & repairing it, & using it to replace the 2.8 L V-6 in the 1993 Chevy S-10 2WD with the 5-speed. Anyway. I can't wait to see this project finished.
Thanks Liam! I have some folks interested in the engine and trans, if I don't sell it, that's a good idea, however the 5-speed won't work. It's a different bellhousing. I'd need a different trans unless I converted it to an automatic.
The 2.8 came with a standard Tremec T5. Too weak for a 350. Hell 2.3 and 5.0 mustangs would kill those 3rd gear sychros in them. That's why the 3rd gen 350 camaros were auto only and only the iron duke and 305 got the T5. Which is the bellhousing he would need, and source the slightly stronger World Class T5. The wieght of the truck and 350 would kill it, though.
S10 V8 swaps are so last Tuesday. Have you thought about putting a 12-valve Cummins engine in it?
Yeah they are, but that's what I wanted to do so no I had never considered that lol. The whole point of the project is to keep things simple.
Hey Kyle, another wonderful video! Me and my dad are slowly beginning to start working on my recently passed grandfathers 1948 Chrysler Windsor, it’s been sitting for about 4 years. I know your a busy guy but if you could stop by once in awhile and check out our progress that would be amazing. The video series is project Lyda.
Thank you Joseph! Best of luck to you and your Dad, it sounds like it's going to be a memorable project! I'll be sure to check it out!
Saabkyle04 sounds great! Can’t wait to see the progress on the S-10!
As for the starter wiring question, I'm not 100% sure with this older s10, but on a newer full-size trucks it should be possible to reach the cables after inner splash shield is removed.
I'd repaint it red with a flat black hood, musclecar style. Maybe do the underside of the cab with urathane paint or bedliner and the frame with urathane paint, since it's a plastic based paint, it oughta last a while. ditch whatever chrome. I think 2.5 and 2.8 s series has black bumpers.
I always wanted to put a Bravada grille on one, but I suspect yours is a pre91 model with the 3 piece grille.
Electric fans, sealed beam halogen conversion with relay mod, up size the battery cables and alternator wires. Relay mod is easy to to; it takes the load off the headlight switch by running power to the headlights from the battery through the relays, leaving the switch as just a switch.
Rear disc conversion, which I think you can get from a v6 4th gen camaro. If I remember correctly; they use the 7.5 axle like these do. And you gotta get some 5spoke wheels.
I miss my 91 s10 blazer 4door. I had a whole notebook of ideas for it. I even thought about a RHD conversion since pre-08 post office route trucks are also S-series. But I was 16 and had seen 2fast2furious lmao. 08+ are Explorer based.
You might be able to find some factory stuff from other s-series vehicles which includes the Astro/Safari. And pretty much any rwd(and some fwd) GM vehicles will wheel swap. You could throw Monte SS wheels on it, IROC camaro wheels(with spacers for the front) on it, I think Bonneville SSEI and Comp-G wheels fit.
You can use that transmission for the v8 you just have to put spacers between the flywheel and torque converter 👌
Uh-huh... 4l80e is much more suited for a v8 than the 4l60e. I'd go manual, though.
Hello Kyle Happy 2020. In thanks for popping pop corn for us fans LoL cat on a hot tin roof.Say you keeping that 1948 ford exersized ?? Keep up the great content. Bruce in Palmdale Calif
Thanks pal!! Happy New Year!
How are those Teng tools working out? Yeah luckily for you that 4.3 is the same bore and stroke as the 350 stock.
You should put Bed liner or some kind of under coating under your cab to protect it and save it
I will for sure. I'll be re-doing the entire underside of the truck and the frame, similar to what I've already done on the rear.
You gotta spray foam the roof of your shed. It will cut down on that rain noise.
I've already got insulation up there, but it's not nearly enough lol, just enough to prevent moisture buildup.
I wish you good luck to install the V8 engine.
Thanks lucas!
@@saabkyle04 You're welcome. Cheers from Chile!
must be the Raining season Next to you that was the only thing I could hear in the video I look forward to seeing this build
Yeah man, wish I could control mother nature lol. Thank you!
Ha lol today’s my birthday but awsome vid
All im gonna say is the 4.3 is GM’s best v6 engine. My old truck had one and it was fucking dope
3800 V6?
GM still makes the 4.3 to this day but it’s an ECOTEC 3 now.
Agreed, they are very good engines
It sucks they have basically 0 aftermarket.
Jax Rhapsody yeah i never did anything to mine. I wanted to do an intake but i could never find a good quality one. Theres a turbo kit i found for them but i didnt have the money when i had it. But i traded it last spring and i dont regret it cause it was for a better truck.
MIght want to look at a custom rear end to take the 350 power as well. I don't think the 4.3 rear will last will last long with the 350.
With the bed trans engine and whole front end off you might as well raise the cab and rust treat the frame
Gunrunner 87 For sure, I’ll be doing a video on it. It’ll be more or less a DIY frame off resto.
Yay! Perfect video to watch for lunch :)
Y u no just set compressor off to side:( now you has to recharge stuff
I'm not worried about all of that, it's getting replaced anyway. The A/C didn't work and the system didn't have refrigerant in it. Thanks for watching bud!
@@saabkyle04 Now I get it, the dagum thing didnt work in the first place!
So what transmission did you go with. As in which HP number did you have one built for?
Because one thing is for darn sure, stock 700r4s DO NOT handle much more power over stock.
Will u have any problems at the smog check because you engine swapped it?
Not where I live
Hey man I sent you a email but not sure what happened maybe I sent it to a different one . Was interested in the 4.3 engine you took out of this truck and how much was asking if you still have it . Like I mentioned before I don't think I live to far away think it's about a hour or so I'm in lincolnton nc very serious . thanks
Hey bud! Can you re-send an email to SK04Kyle@gmail.com? I don't remember ever seeing it. Thank you!
Are you gonna keep the auto transmission or are you gonna swap in an NV3500 5 speed?
I'd say he'll probably keep it Automatic, Seems like he's going for Simple, and a 5 Speed swap ain't really simple ( Well, if you've never done one on an S10 that is )
Whats going on with the 4 door s10?
Cool video bro! Butt......was that a paper mill running in the background?!?
It was rain LOL. Thanks!
Would it be possible to mate the 4.3's fuel/emissions system to the 350?
I'd guess that with bigger injectors, you'd have the 4.3's driveability, all the power you want, and at way lower cost than a Sniper setup.
If he would have kept it TBI then it was basically Plug N Play, All the 4.3L stuff would have worked on the 350 TBI, Only thing he would have to buy is Headers & Mounts, The Fuel system is the same, A 4.3L is basically the same thing as a 5.7L (350) just with 2 less Cylinders. That's why I'm doing a 350 TBI swap on my S10, it's a 4.3L TBI/5 Speed and a 350 TBI will basically drop right in
I knew they were similar but I had no idea they were THAT similar?!?! I've been thinking all morning about this LOL. I'm still going to stick with a carburetor because I originally wanted to build the truck as simple and "old school" as possible, but man, that's some really good info, thank you for sharing!! I will be saving all of the equipment I won't need on this truck to maybe use on a future project.
@@saabkyle04 Man if you ever have any questions please feel free to ask me man, I know quite a bit about S10s & Blazers & if I don't know, I can 100% find out for you ok.... Keep up the good work tho, Bc I actually enjoy watching someone else working on S10s other than myself Lol
Put a 350 V8 in a V6 truck? Sure. All by my damn self? Why not?
-Kyle
💪🏻
Gotta learn somehow right? LOL Thanks man!
Saabkyle04,
Mad respect for you man. 🤜🏻
Any plans with that 4.3?
At this moment, no. I'll keep the accessory drive, but I'll probably sell the rest.
Is there a tin roof on your garage?
Galvanized metal, but yes pretty much lol.
Hey Kyle. Are u going to do a exterior detail with the truck when it is done
This truck will be painted
@@saabkyle04 oh ok. I have another question. Where is the 240sx right now like are u driving it or is it parked on the other side of ur shop
Hey man, I do own 1996 s10 single cab, 4.3 engine 133k, new vortec coming out '96, and with 2012 Camaro ss 20' rims. '95 below old throttle body. Wish I can sent pics.
One other thing, if you have a 700r4. BE ABSOLUTELY 100% POSITIVELY SURE that you get the Throttle Valve cable set right. It is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to the life of the transmission.
It's sad that in the 90's GM Trucks were about Engine Variations and Heavy Duty equipment but now they are about aesthetics
This is very true
my jimmy have the back mount for the spear tire but i don't have one for it so my spear tire is tided to the jack mount and i cray a floor jack
😎👍
I might have missed it but what transmission do you plan on using?
A built-up 700R4 from TCI. I considered using the 700R4 that came in the truck but apparently the internals are different enough from one that would have been behind a 350 so it probably wouldn't last very long.
Ah! Nice! I was expecting the stock trans wouldn't survive a 350 XD
@@saabkyle04 Yeah it would, The 350 doesn't have much more power than the 4.3L, The 4.3L TBI is around 155 HP & the 5.7L TBI is like 185-200 HP, It would last as long as ur not out running the Dog crap out of it and Racing everyday with it, If you are just Daily Driving it, then it would be fine...... I'd say the only difference between the Transmission from the 4.3 & the 5.7 is 1st gear, At least that's how it is between the NV3500 & NV4500 5 Speed Transmissions ( NV3500 is behind the 4.3L & The NV4500 comes behind the 5.7L ), 1st Gear is different bc of the more Torque I believe it was, I can't really remember, But I do remember reading that 1st Gear was different....
It had a 700r4? My 91 s10 blazer had a 4L60E.
Was it raining?? ha, ha...
What if you get a digital instrument cluster for the s10
I don't know if I'll do that for this truck. If I did, it'll be a Dakota Digital.
Dat $5 dolly 😂
Yeahhhh man!
Fit some jaguar exhaust pipes onto it.
I can't offer much but be sure to use two wrenches on metal lines to avoid bound lines twisting and bending in the future! Ask me how I know XD
I appreciate that bud! I thought about that afterwards LOL.
@@saabkyle04 OH MAN you made my day. You're welcome so much for tunin' in, too! :)
Wow iv never been this early before
How is the house comeing buddy
Progress was slow for the past few months, but we're finally getting back into it. I posted a pic of it on instagram the other day :)
Just so you know Kyle, I think your website (Saabkyle04 LLC) has disappeared. Maybe It changed names, but I've looked that up many times and it says the domain name expired on 1/1/2020 and is awaiting renewal.
would you sale the. 4.3 engine
Yes, I don't have a need for it, feel free to shoot me an email at SK04Kyle@gmail.com. Several people have asked about it, but I can keep you posted.
deffinetly hack out any parts of the harness you dont need.
How much horse power has the new engine?
Really not sure, shouldn't be a crazy amount, just enough to wake the truck up and have some fun
@@saabkyle04 so... Automatic or manual? What do you prefer?
You didn't need to do all that man, You could have just undone the Engine Wiring Harness from the Firewall and pulled the Engine & Wiring harness together, Bc ur going back Carb with it, So ur not going to need alot of those wires or the 4.3L ECU...... Also, Don't feel bad, We all forget about the Power Steering Lines 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahhhhh man, I'm aware of the plug on the driver's side of the firewall, but where else does it unplug, I haven't gotten far enough to see yet LOL. I know it was overkill, I just did it for the learning experience haha. I can't wait to clean things up and eliminate all the unnecessary stuff!
@@saabkyle04 Can you post a Picture of the plug on the Driver Side Firewall to ur Facebook Page ?? Bc I'm not sure exactly what plug it is you have, I was thinking of the 2.8L Plug that that just unplugs at the Firewall, But there is others that don't unplug there and it's all one big plug that doesn't come apart. Like the one on my 95 4.3L, But my 84 Blazer has the kind of plug that comes undone at the firewall tho
@@saabkyle04 I sent you some pictures on ur Facebook Page on one of ur Post
@@saabkyle04 I just bought my 350 Engine today, So my Swap is moving along now, I still need to buy Headers & Mounts for it tho & I want to get everything cleaned up on it & the engine bay, But I know ur Subscribed to my channel so keep an eye out for my Swap post ok, And don't be afraid to Comment Lol
When doing this swap you probably wont even need half of the factory wiring
Cole Lamberson Nope! Should be able to clean things up nicely. 👌🏻
Thats a 4wd oil filter...
Nice job removing that stock engine.
Thanks!
Why won't you convert it to 4WD
The Great Mixer Because that would be silly. The frames are completely different. You’re better off buying a 4wd truck.
@@saabkyle04 Plus you've got... how many trucks and cars going on now?
He's right; the frames are different for 2wd and 4wd on the front.
You’re swapping the engine.
Just put. The 4.3. Into a. Datsun 240 z
what are you gonna do with the v6?????????? and the trans????????????????????? i live in California!! just sayin
Both are for sale! Wish you were closer! California is a little far from North Carolina LOL.
Get rid of the factory harness It's won't work with the 350
Yes it will plug and play
What are you basing that off of? It will work...
You are correct, all I need to do is eliminate the sensors/plugs that won't be used and clean things up, the rest will work fine.
@@saabkyle04 you're correct
Please do not lower it. Ugh. These were such great trucks, just restore it.
Good bye ol girl your were good while you lasted now on to the next
🙌
TOO BAD YOUR NOT CLOSER I'D COME DOWN AND TAKE THAT 4.3 OFF YOUR HANDS I NEED A SPARE. FORGET THE CENTER SHAFT MOUNT DO AWAY WITH IT AND GO TO A ONE PIECE DRIVE SHAFT IT WILL BE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN.
Hey man! I've never heard of anyone doing a 1 piece swap. I wasn't sure that was a thing, if it were even possible due to the wheelbase. If you have any information on it, please send it to my email so I can be sure to check it out! SK04Kyle@Gmail.com. Thanks!!
