Re: engine transplant

It's been done but it isn't just a harness/engine drop.

What trans has it got? If it's a 4l60e then you'll need to change ECMs or get an aftermarket controller.

Re: engine transplant

A lot of it would depend on how emission friendly your state is, in your area
Leadfoot did it, using the Syclone harness but later decided to use the 2002 truck harness, so he could get his dash to work, and it allowed him to update to the 4L60e tranny.
98 and newer S10's get several of the dash readings from the class 2 data buss, using the SyTy harness and ECM would not allow them to work.
You're also opening a new bag of worms, with it originaly being a 2.2, which means its a 2WD, it would also need differant fram mounts..

Doug used a 2002 harness and modified it himself
Doug's run a seperate boost controler
I helped him with his basic tune to get it started, it was done in EFI Live, using one of their COS's to support boost.
You'll run in to some issues, if you run the 2002 PCM, but its the best for the job

Re: engine transplant

I don't know where you are located but putting an older engine in a newer truck is a no-no in a lot of states. Just FYI

Actually it's a No No in every state, but so is retuning the ECM, changing the injectors, heads or turbo, even increasing the boost, but right now the EPA is too busy making sure that the printing presses aren't putting off too many toxic fumes, while printing all the money they'll need so Obama, can spend us out of debt, to worry about us little people poluting the air.
