I have already finished and have lots of fun with my s-10 with the 350 in it, but now ive got another s-10 thats needs and engine and i want to do a big block swap. Ive looked all over and i cant find the info i need on manifolds, oil pan, and motor mounting. I know it can be done as i have seen it but i dont want to do a chop job. I want it to be a daily driver and be dependable so i need the right info and parts to do the job right. I know someone on here know where i can get the info, so any leads would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanx for your time!

now i know all about small block stuff, but this big block stuff is foreign, so not to sound stupid, what exactly is a regular big block oil pan? What make and model of vehicle is this oil pan off of? As far as the exhaust manifolds, i know they miss the steering shaft, but is there any interferance with runnin the exhaust pipes, as far as where the flange and pipe go together? and how about cooling, can i use my old vette radiator and taurus fan to keep er cool or am i now gonna have to find a new combo? And one last thing, since a turbo 350 and a 400 bolt up to the big block, to me it would only make sence that a 700r4 would also bolt up correct? And as for you s15laynrubba, i might just take u up on that help offer!
