my plan is to after my s10 (currenting being paxton supercharged) blows up, i wanted to do a full engine, drivetrain, and frame swap from a syclone to my s10...anything from a fully stock sy that was wrecked with no frame damage to anyone who is looking to get rid of one that has too much body damage they dont want to repair. i will not be moving quick on this at all. just trying to get an idea on if its possible to do.

basically just swapping the bodys on the trucks. im not trying to make a "sleeper" i just like the look of my truck a lil more than the older sytys (no offense to anyone owning one, im jealous). plus i think its unique and that is what id like to accomplish with this swap.

I think you would be better off doing it with yours and eliminating the week points like the tranny and rear axle get a solid 4.3 put a turbo on it I think you will be much better off that way time and money wise :2cents:

id have to rebuild the weak 4.3 tbi in my truck now before id put a turbo on. so thats why im supercharging it at the moment keep the work to a minimum while still hitting a good amount of boost. plus getting a new tranny like an nz3500 or something else then 4.10 gears and some sort of posi itll cost a good 4K+ regardless. and it wont be awd :( which is a plus in northern ohio where it can be sunny and not a cloud in the sky to 10" of snow the following morning)
