I think most of us would prefer you keep it all Chevy.After all this is a small block Chevy forum.

first thing. id suggest using periods & commas in your post. It will make it much easier to read.
Secondly...sell the Mopar engine , you should be able to get plenty of money for a running 383 to buy another small block chevy

Prosto, if you have an mopar Engine that you want to put in your chevy. Pickup, and you can do it then go for it. 80% of the cars on this board has a dif. motor than what it come from the factory with, it sounds like you don't have a lot of experience ,so getting another chevy. would be the easy way to go. its not gonna be easy, but there are some people here that will help you if they can. its gonna take some cutting and welding. its not just getting the motor in either, its the wiring, exhaust, hoses, everything is dif.

I kinda liked it as Marry Christmas...It's the thought that counts anyway.....back to the post.......

There is absolutly no way to bolt a mopar big block in an S-10 without welding and serious modifications. It's a custom fit and I don't know of a company that makes that kit..Like posted earlier though, nothing else will work either...You will need custom motor mounts, most likely welded brackets and a custom cross member for the trans and a custom drive shaft to go from the torqueflite to the GM rear end. If you wanted to do a small block chevy though, there are bolt on kits to do the swap..

actually, he didnt say S10... he said C10

Its not always as hard as you'd think. A couple of guys got a 400 Chevy from me and dropped it in a '66 Ford pickup. The Chev motor mounts dropped right in the Ford frame mounts! An angle iron back X-member and a junkyard scrounge for a driveshaft and they were on the road in a day!
