    THANKS for the detailed closeups on the exhaust manifolds. I'm getting ready to put a 350 in a 2wd Jimmy but I want to use the Hooker cast manifolds instead of headers.

    Before you try a v8 s-10 swap....buy the Jags That Run S-10 book. I have had my *88 V8 S-10 Blazer for 24 years. I was converted to V8 before I got it. Trust me...buy the book...even if you don't do what they recommend...you will know why or why not. I didn't do everything they suggested...some worked out, others didn't, buy I made an informed choice. 160K+ miles and thousands of passes at the drag strip for a daily driver it's been 10% pain in the but sometimes, but 90% blast of fun, and I didn't go broke.

    Hmm . Yeah looks good man I love to do a v8 swap or even the 4.3v6 on mine but finding a good transmission and engine but isn't easy finding them lol so many issues with the automatics with v8s I rather have a 5speed butt then I would have to cut the floor and fire wall put to do everything . So ha I'm stuck with my 2.8 I swapped to because orginally my truck was a 2.54cyl but had a blown headgasket so I swapped to the 2.8 instead.

    I'll keep driven it until it blows up and then drop in my backup 2.8 I have out of a 92 s10 lol

    You could change your fan back to in modified and run a electric fan

    Jw what fan shroud and radiator did you use? Thanks I'm almost finished with my swap!🤘

      I used the original 2.8 rad and shroud and fan so far it works but a rad from a 4.3 is going to work as well.

    What brackets did you use for power steering

      I think I showed it in the first v8 swap video, it's what would have come on any sbc with short water pump I believe. Soon I'm going to make a new video on this because I have changed some things as I just installed headers

    Did you use the t5 transmission that was in the s10 or changed it out as well?

    Do any of your factory still gauges work ?

      All of them except water tem

      Change your 2.8 temp sensor and water should work

    Nice job, only I would do differently use a 4.3 rad, and electric fan
