I have most of the parts and am wondering is there anyway not to have to change the frame mounts on the truck with the 2.8 one cause I don't want to drop the control arms just to change mounts can I run the solid steel mounts, I have a 5 speed tranny and was planning on using a polyurethane mount on it cause I have broke the tranny mount 2 times and motor mounts 3 times and do not want to have to drop the control arms 1 a year to change a motor mount or crack a traansmissio n case I am going to be running a stock 350 out of a 92 z28 and the stock 5 speed and running 3.42 locker in the rear it is going to be a possible daily driver with a/c and cruise with fuel injection so any help will be greatly appreciated for this is my first s10 v8 swap and plan on doing many more

i know they say to use the 2.8 mounts because they are stronger than the 4.3 mounts. there's an adapter plate you can buy to match up the mounts to a 350, either try jtr.com or mys10.com and you should be able to find all the parts and info you need.

got the motor in and boy its fast
never relised how strong a 350 was

i got a check engine light today and it was as suspected the knock sensor that i did not put in caused the light any suggestions on places to put it considering it won't fit in the stock locations in the block because of the notor mounts it there any other threads style on a knock sensor so i can put it in the intake or something
