I just bought a low mile 78 turbo LeSabre with a bad transmission for an embarrassingly low price. I'm thinking about putting the engine in my 1984 S-10 Blazer 2-wheel drive lorider that has the dreaded 2.8. My original plan called for a small block Chevy but everybody has one of those and the 3.8 seems like a natural. Will it fit in the body? hood? frame? I roughly measured and it looks like a go but I've never heard of anyone doing this conversion, maybe for good reason. The Blazer has a Borg Warner T-5 speed which I'd like to keep or I have an old 60's Muncie M-21 close-ratio Hmmmmm... Anybody that has any information about putting the turbo 3.8 in an S-10 would be greatly appreciated especially info on hooking up a stick shift. Flywheel type?? application?? interchange?? I could live with an automatic but I'm a diehard gear rower and it would make for an interesting ride.
