ok, i own a 91 RS Lo3.
my dad has a 95 S-10
i'm buying a 350 or 400 and rebuilding it for my car
my dad wants my 305 for his truck

does anyone know where we could get the proper information about putting a 305 in a 95 s-10 i'm pretty sure its been done but he wants to know exactly whats gotta be done before he commits to such a job...
thanks for your help
Cody

what are the specs on the s-10? Its doable on the 2wd s-10s but i hear its harder to do with 4wd.other than that the 4.3 is basically a sbc short 2 cyl.

ok the s-10 is a 95 2wd 2.2L
my dad is wanting to put the 305 out of my camaro in the truck when i get my 350...

so if the 4.3 is basically the same size all we will have to do is maybe move the mounts back some right????

that link would be very appreciated

hmm... i donno about the four cyl. All ive heard was swaps from 4.3's to sbc's. I dont know much about the 4 cyl motor mounts or whether the bolt pattern is the same. Ill see if i can dig up the site tonight. I havnt been home yet. Since your planning to go throught eh trouble of anb engine swap, you might want to get a good used L31 vortec to go in place of the 305. My old 305 couldnt hold a candle to the 4.3 in my s-10 tahoe, which in turn cant hold a candle to my 350. Probably a good idea to use a carb. Makes the swap all that much easier since you dont have an induction system.
