To start this off, there are basically three options I see as easily attainable for an S10 frame swap. Keep the stock 4.3L, go small block, or go LS1. I will start off with small block parts, as these are by far the most popular conversion.

What you'll need:
-47-54 Chevy pickup with bed, fenders, hood, core support
-S10 chassis (117" w.b. long bed short cab) If you can, score the brake pedal, master/booster assembly and power steering box.
-Engine/trans combo of choice

I am starting to part out my 2003 s10, but I was wonderful my if there is anything else I should hang onto for my 50 Chevy swap. A/c components? Power brake stuff? 4l60e tranny? Wiring harnesses? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks,
Jon
is it a 4.3, if so save all the brake stuff and the trans
