Re: 4.3 into a 54

what's wrong with the front suspension? do you want ifs?

it might be easier to swap the body onto the s10 frame, but you said you want to keep the original frame.

is your s10 2wd or 4wd?

i dunno about handling power but the 4wd s10 rear works very well, id suggest swapping the frames, it will give better handling being on the s10 chassis
