@mr sunshine i need your mechanical prowess.

I have an '01 chevy s10. It came with a v6 and 4l60e transmission, basically a 700r4.

So i wanna take the v6 and swap with a small block v8, like an lt1 or ls1.
I know the bellhousing is the same and the tranny could handle the torque

But what might i have to do to the suspension? Hopefully an ls1 will fit as its about the same weight as the iron v6.. would i have to modify/push back the fire wall? I figure a radiator swap would be pretty easy. Any other real issues you can think of?
I might be able to go carbureted and rip out most of the computer crap



Some advice?
Hydration, stay hydrated while you perform these necessary tasks. .

@mr sunshine so glad you're back. i'm not sure the advice from sno cone was valid although he did try. when Zenobia (Amish girl) made her getaway the only thing she could get was a manure spreader from the pig farm and the horse (Zebulon) to pull it. It's got those steel wheels that just tore the heck out of the street so i told her to park it across the street in the Walmart lot with a note saying the horse died and they will be back to get it soon. Signed Mr Yoder cause most of them are named that.

Well the next day all the store managers were all out there looking at it, but not too close cause the pig shit really smelled when the temp hit 90 degrees. The streets all tore up almost as far as the eye can see from the wheels. Also the managers were pointing at Zeb and talking among themselves as managers do. I wonder if they will put 2 and 2 together. Oh well.

But my immediate problem is old Zeb the Percheron in the back yard (which is the size of a large living room). At first he ate my 8' budding Blue Dream and stood around in a daze for a couple of days. Then he pooped and peed a lot, so much so I have to wear my waders in the yard. I've got almost a dump truck load of hamster bedding back there, but he makes big doodies.

I don't know if my possum-eyed Zenobia is worth the aggravation. What do you think?
You need to get zenobia drunk and leave her in the country. Then you need to save your money for a month and make your way into Mexico. Go to a bar find the prostitute you know you'll enjoy fucking for a few years and tell her to marry you. If she says no show her a few hundred bucks and watch her change her mind.

Do you need the money? If So Take The job.. If your comfortable do what makes you happy.
Depends on how you want to define 'need' and 'happy'...

I'm able to pay my bills and buy food. after that it's all fluff anyway.

Neither job will make me happy. That won't happen until I open Pot Head Farms, your source for organic medical cannabis. :eyesmoke:
