Thanks!

you have to move the motor back about 8.5 inches. you can keep the radiator and fan if you box in the inners for a radiator mount but most guys just use the 19x22 rad and add a trans cooler and electric fan. see my booger thread for mounting the stock s10 rad.
edit: I realized I asked skymangs the same exact question as you before I did my first swap haha. I was hopeful not to move the engine too.
