big block s-10

[my454s10]

i have a 1992 truck thats runs really hard ..it has a 350 in it with a tunnel ram a 2 holley 600cfm carbs on it with a soild cam 4.11 gears and a 3500 stall..but i really want a big block ...does any one think that if i use a front motor plate instead of the side mounts and cut the cross member just a little ...than maybe i can use the block hugger headers...any info will help

if you really want it pull the mouse and setup up the rat and go from there, there is really only one way to find out. i have a big block out of a 92 454ss pickup that is gonna go in my next s10 once i finish my s15.

oh, and im 99.3% sure that you can use the same side motor mounts, wich will be a lot easier to live with if you want to drive it and have a good cam. then again the 2.8 mounts might not handle the torque or the block huggers. ok, never mind.
