    well guys, ive got a question about swapping a complete 5.3 trans /transfer case into a 95 s-10 zr-2 ext cab4x4. what do i have to do to make it work,im sure ill need motor mounts, maybe a radiator, fuel pump, and a nelson harness. if theres not too much work involved ill do it, if not i have to get a new long block(4.3) and new tranny which will end up costing more than the 5.3 drivetrain.ive seen some s-10 swaps but havent found any 4x4 swaps yet usining the silverado complete drivetrain. any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.thanks, tim

    You need to get the V-8 into s-10 manual from JTR(jags that run). They are the experts at that sort of thing. In fact if my memory serves me, I beleive they did a LT1 with a astro van AWD transfer case into a 4X4. I think they had to put different seats in to keep from putting their heads through the back glass on the 1/2 shift.
