Engine
Transmission (if he doesn't have an existing 4.3 tranny)
Engine harness
ECM
conversion headers
2.2 conversion mounts
conversion oil pan
What kind of injection will he be using?
Is he going with TBI, CSFI, or Using an Lt1/Ls1 motor?
Lots of wiring... What year/motor does he currently have? simply stating he has an s10 doesn't give us a clue.

Do a search in the S10 section and you will find all kinds of advice.

I found www.s10forums.com has a huge section on the engine swaps and what is necessary

if he doesn't have the 4.3 tranny, probably around 3500 bux...
