I've been reading around latley and havent been finding the answers i'm looking for.
i've got a 92 s10 with a carb'd 383/th350, runs 11.70's but i'd like to go faster, i'm not building another v8, had considered low comp pistons and adding a 70mm turbo (always been a turbo guy) but i don't like blow through carbs and havent found any efi systems that i like, and they arent cheap. My Gn buddy and i were talking the other day and he suggested a s/c series 2 because they are factory forged internals and are cross bolted mains which i like alot. from what i've read they can make alot of hp with alot of boost untouched bottom end.
pull the s/c off and switch to a camaro manifold. i know that the series 2 takes a 60 deg bell, but i thought i had read that the motor shares the same mounts as s10? 2.5, 2.8 or 4.3 i don't remember and i can't find that info now. can anyone clarify if thats remotely correct or not? I know that 3.8 gn and 3800 series 2 moutns are not the same but is it all together different and need to be fabbed?
i'm seriously considering this swap but after 3 yrs building my 11 sec syclone and building this truck to where its at now i'm not looking for something long and drawn out.
i saw a post in here talking about seeing this done before but would be nice to acutally talk to someone who has done it, see what i'd be getting myself into
