Rick told me after he left Muscle Car Tv that when he moved, on the freeway it got right about 22mpg cruising at around 80mph, not bad for a v8 4x4.

Can Scott come back for more episodes? He adds life to the show

That tracker is pretty cool honestly

I upgraded my alt from 85 amp to 145 (Ad-244 tahoe lines up) 1 cell bigger battery And welding cable for wiring The rear has no seats ..its a bed platform for camping ..Love my 05' blazer

I'm retired military I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4×4 4.3 LS and it's rusty I bought it for 1500 I have a vision of doing the same thing y'all are doing here I want to restore my truck and make it very unique

I just bought a 2002 blazer for 2000$. I like it a lot but I'm going to leave the 4.3 v6 . Saves gas and gets what I need done. Figure that's a lot of work to do just 2 cylinders.

I did this swap in 3 days running and driving . If you do your research it’s really not that hard . Hardest part was exhaust because the headers I bought didn’t fit . Modified stock manifolds . Also i do have a rc 2.5 lift which gives you a bit of diff to oil pan clearance .

Great job guys

That's the beautiful est lil o truck there !

Would like to do this to my 96 4x4 sonoma ext. cab.

Wonder if the oil filter was still easily accessible, or if it could/should have been mounted remotely?

Would love to get a late 70s skyhawk or starfire, monza . And drop a ls into it

ANDY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS BUTCHERING THAT TRANSMISSION LOL. I LEARNED FROM THE BEST, PRESISION TRANSMISSIONS.

What accessory drive kit did they use, part number-wise?

I want a magnum TVS 2650 on my 2014 Silverado L86

I got a small block Chevy in my S10 thinking about LS it just don't know wen yet

So cut up the oil pan and motor mounts and the manifolds instead of a body lift... I'd go with a body lift and Camaro stock 20s.

What do y'all do with these vehicles when you're done with them?

aaaaaaaand that's why I am going with a 350 Vortec in my 2WD jimmy.......yup LS is alot better but its a PITA to bolt in.

Yep, it's a different exhaust manifold, PCM reprogram and different motor mounts. The 350 is the easiest swap

I wonder where this truck is.

I know its a hard job. Its a real hard job to do this swap. They did make this harder than it needed to be though. If you are gonna do this, ask yourself a couple of questions first. 1) Do you want to take the time it needs to do it? You need at least 3 to 4 weeks, even if you have all the parts. 2) Are you prepared and have all the tools you need to do A LOT of custom Fab work? There is alot involved in massaging and making things fit without rigging things for sake of expediency. 3) Are you doing a stock replacement or just mild mods? This is where the project usually falls apart. Unrealistic expectations.

We like Scott. Keep him, so when you’re in S10 trouble, you can say “Beam me up Scotty”! Lol!😅🤣🥲 When I did my S10/LS2 conversion, back in ‘08, I actually used Current Performance too. However, his(Current Perf.)fan relays never worked correctly. Had to get a stand-alone unit from NY that has two(2) fan speeds. It was the missing link.

Do y’all do that for other people?

Wasn't Scott the dude who built a lot of s10 LS swaps? I use to be in the ls scene long ago. I think he lives in Tennessee if that's him

​@@Boycott_Wendysthere's been a few people to swap a 3800 into a S10 I think they used a 2.2 truck since they share a 60 degree bell housing and I think the same motor mounts.

@@Boycott_Wendysits very possible. The 3800 is also in the v6 catfish. Both the fwd and rwd are the same block. The supercharged one is the same block as well, just different internals and lower intake manifold. If you want a 3800 use the one off the camaro. You can run it NA or with light boost. If you want more boost with a turbo, build the 3800 with a camaro NA intake set up. For a blower set up, use the fwd top end (L67). Theres more info on forums about this. Its a good platform

Another solution is to go online and purchase moroso block sealer and dump it in your cooling system. This may be less effective but I would say 75-80 percent of vehicles I've used it on haven't had a problem since.

Just do a 350 swap. It's much easier and the 350 is a better motor in regards to durability, longevity, and simplicity
