Just bought a '96 s-10
« on: June 18 2005, 12:16:36 AM »
Hey I just bought a '96 Chevy S-10. This will replace my Mazda
in October. Its a 2.2 liter with a 5 speed. I may do some mods
to it. Because its OBD II, a Buick GN transplant is out. So I'm thinking
about modding the stock engine. Has anyone seen anything
for these trucks ? Any links ? etc...

At least it'll be easier to change the head gasket on this compared to a Buick. :rofl;

I wonder. My sister has one - really slim between the shock towers. You have to take a section of the steering out to change one of the plugs.  :mad:

The stock 4.3 is better than a Camaro 3800. Yeah, the
drivers side center plug sucks to change on those.

Unfortunately, I can't get away with that. Customers get pissed about that stuff.

Oh God, that damn #3 plug. Forget about it. Won't even do it my mom's truck.

You might be able to fab a turbo kit for it. Should be straight forward, no complex bends or such.
