i have just recieved a 350 chevy with a 350 trans. i have a 88 long box picup that i am wanting to put it into. i am wondering if anyone has done this swap or if anyone has any information on doing this swap into this generation isuzu picup

im new to this site but ive seen this done a couple times with three differnt engines. the first was a 4.3vortec it pretty much dropped in perfect, then ive seen a ford 302 sb wich is easier because of the front mount distribitor the 350 is my fave still because i grew uo around comaros when i was lil butif u ggo with this the first issue is the firewall. u will have to mesure a couple of time and cut it to clear the distribitor. call ur local performance shop to price the motor mounts,the ones i priced for mine were about 79 dollars. u have to get an electric fan for clearance issues in the front then u have to modify the core support for the radiator. thats the basic tech i no its easy but time consuming hope this helps. ill keep u posted when i get some more info.

I too am looking to swap to a V8. Look like a 5.0 Ford 302 is what I am going with. I will post pics as they become avali.

was wondering how much hp u was aiming for. And how u going to get around the rearend problems with that much torque

I did find this. Hope it helps out with the build. Seems to look good.

At my father-in-law's request I am going to replace the rear end to a ford 9" rear end.

that things going to really scoot

still rebuilding the motor. with the parts i have i am guessing about 350 hp.



RXZILLA quick question for you what all are you going to have to do to get the ford 9" to fit the suspension?

sweet man 350 ftw

just ordered parts for the motor. does anyone know anything about cut cutting off the front frame and replacing it with the s-10 same.

here are some pics of my 383 stroker v8 swap...It's a long road and a long way to go before I hit the track...Hope your up for it...

what brakes are you using on the front end?

They are R-1 Concepts...zinc dipped drilled and slotted toyota rotors with 89 Isuzu rebuilt calipers and HP pads

been a long time since i have been on the motor swap got put on hold so that a circle track car could be built and ran. just getting started back on it now.

you dont wanna do that. a v8 will actually fit much better on the isuzu front clip. i have worked with both. the isuzu frame rails are a little further apart giving you much more room for exhaust clearance and there are no steering clearance issues with the isuzu like there are with an s10 frame.
