LS6 in a S10 ?

whats up people,

well i got plans now for an s10 i got..(an extreme to be exact).. and i've been thinkin about throwing in an LS6 with a vette tranny and everything... the whole package..and i'm tryin to find out how easy or hard it'd be to mount it in there, i.e would there be a need for custom motor mounts?... a custom firewall ?....

Re: LS6 in a S10 ?

had a buddy who really wanted my old ls-1 for his s-10 he gave up on the project. It's a lot of work.

Re: LS6 in a S10 ?

i dont care about all that.. i'm just concerned about how much cutting, welding, and custom mounting i'll need to do if any...but sounds good... and tho i'm a big fan of superchargers... turbo says alot more...;-)

again.. anyone out there know about the mounting of an LS6 or 1 into an s10?

You will need a trans out of a camaro or firebird.
The vette has that clutch on the motor trans in the back deal...

Check out www.s10forum.com/forum

There are several guys on there who have done the LS1/6 speed swap into blazers and s10s. Too much money & time and not enough returns for me. You can get the headers and mounts from JTR.
