Swapping Your Chevrolet S10 2.8L To a 3.4L

(written based on S-10 swaps in RWD applications only)



If you have chosen to use a Camaro engine on your TBI truck with serpentine belts remember that the Camaro was a car that used a serpentine setup. BUT you still need to remove the pump and front cover and use your S-10 components. The front cover does not have a pointer on it to set timing and the pump will not work with the S-10 pulley which will be needed for your clutch fan. However, there is one exception. If you are going to use an electric fan for your S-10 you can use the Camaro water pump for your swap. The Camaro pump uses a smaller pulley, this will not cause any problems as the tensioner will absorb the small amount of extra slack. You will actually benefit from an over driven water pump and have more water flow. If you are using the Camaro engine for a carbureted truck everything on the Camaro block must go an you must use your original S-10 parts.
