I though the isuzu was the same as the s10. Or was that just the later ones?

AFAIK Isuzu pickup = S10, get a S10 kit. Wiring will, of course, be different since it uses an Isuzu motor, but wiring an LS motor to run is really cake.

Are you guys sure on the older Izuzu, I've had both the s-10 and Izuzu and the frames looked slightly different, might be a good start though maybe they would work fine.

I'm halfway sure the 91 Isuzu isn't the same as the s-10, but some googling would definetly help you there.

back then Isuzu was associated with Honda SUVs. It wasn't until the late 90s they came joined up with GM, right?

My friends dad had bought a early 90s Nissan or Isuzu with a plain 350 in it and it hauled ***. Those little trucks weight like 2700lbs. Should be a cool build.

From Wikipedia:

"In North America, the Isuzu TF appeared in 1987 as simply the "Pickup", replacing the Japanese-made P'up (KB-Z). Isuzu continued on with the TF until 1996 when it was finally replaced with the Hombre (badged-engineered S-10) in 1996. The only engines available were the 2.3L 4ZD1, and the 2.6L 4ZE1 on four-wheel drive models."

I'd look around and see if anybody has done a swap into an Izusu Amigo/Rodeo. They use similar underpinnings as your truck.

its a 1991 isuzu pick up 2wd 2.3l short bed 5speed truck with front torsion bars

i was doing some measuring and the tunnel and engine bay seem to have enough room to fit an ls1-2 w/ a t-56 rear end still thinking of what to use ?

making motor mounts fit right i think is going to be the hardest part of this swap
