OK, i need to know a couple of things. first off, do they sell adapter brackets for a 350 swap into a 87 s-10? if so, aare they weld in or bolt in? and will the same mounts work with a 400ci? also? I now plan on backing it up with a 350 turbo tranny. what cars came equipped with those, that way when i go junkyard hunting ill know what to look in? also what kind of torque converter am i going to need? This s-10 is going to be a complete work of art when im done with it, taking on a complete SS transformation. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. also, one more thing....do you think i could get emblems made that say SS-10? :devil:

all small blocks have the same bolt pattern ie 4.3 5.7 and the 400 as long as its a small block, those and all between are the same

I'll ask my mechanic friend tomorrow about the best choice of cars for the transmission. The Old vans, and I believe pickups are the best source for 400's. Again I'll ask my friend which years to look at.

The emblems made up will cost you a pretty penny.

Your best to just take a SS emblem and look for a dash, and a 10 that match closely (look at old Ford F-100's)

Or just come up with the design and have stickers made up. They can computer cut them for dirt cheap.

ok, all the bolt patters are the same, good. now where can i find the brackets to put that engine in with?
