hey guys im new here.
i have a 1999 GMC Jimmy 4x4.
ive done a three inch drop, custom grill, custom paint, 18inch chrome wheels and a buch of other stuff. if hit the point where im bored and my truck is too slow. ive been thinking of a v8 conversion but cant find any info for the newer body jimmy's just the square front ones. any info would be greatly appreciated.
oh and if anyone knows if an airbag kit can be done on a 4x4 let me know. thanks
I would think that if it fits in a newer S-10 it would be the same as yours? Just thinking out loud here.

very much so. would be a sweet conversion. an AWD jimmie with an ls1.
It will fit. The 4.3L engine that is in there is just 3/4 of a Gen1 350 engine. The LSx fits well within the final generation S10. There are a lot of those converted out there. I think Hooker even makes engine mounts and headers for the conversion, if not check out Jags That Run, there are a few on there.

It seems like there is an issue with the front CV axle going through the oil pan area. I think it can be solved with some creative oil pan reworking. There is a Typhoon conversion on here that might have some insight. http://forum.ls1truck.com/index.php?showto...&hl=typhoon I still think about this setup (AWD s-10/s15) about once a week. Yesterday I searched for Sy/Ty's for sale. I think even a Bravada AWD setup would work.

I have been staring at one of those sitting in my neighborhood!! I bet it hasn't moved in 4 years. Too bad it's green though.
