Re: Engine and trans

I have had trucks both ways and I would put a 700R4 in it. Have it gone through before putting it in. Have the trans shop do the upgrades that they need. If you get something from an S10 make sure it had a 4.3 in it. Tail shaft will not have an effect since you are going to shorten the frame and will need a new drive shaft anyway. Doing the swap while you have the body off the frame will make life easy. All the rivets for the old trans crossmember will be easy to get to. You can get a bolt in trans crossmember from several vendors.
