Default 6.0l in an s10

i have heard that everything is made to put one of these engines into an s10 but im having issues finding where to buy all the stuff i have a 93 s10 and a 6.0 out of a 2004 truck not sure if its a ls6 or if its one of the odd numbers but if anyone has links to any info on doing this or parts that i will need it would be appreceated

i want to bolt up a th350 to it also and i know i need either a crank spacer or a converter made but i cant find where to get these parts either

i have heard headers are also made for an s10 lsx engine swap but i cant find any of the links i thought i saved

and i know where to get the gmpp intake but not the msd timing controller without an intake

hi, if you have a 6.0L it is going to be an LQ4 or LQ9(hi-po version). If your going to use a th350, hughes performance makes a flywheel and spacer to do the conversion, summitt racing sells them. I would give you the part #'s, but I can't find them at the moment. Also to make life simpler, street and performace (www.hotrodlane.cc) has motor mounts and just about anything to make the conversion simpler. Hope this helps.

jegs sells the mounts, I was looking through their new catalog the other day and came accross the mounts for an ls1, and since the 6.0 is a lsx engine, then it will bolt up also. Oh upon closer inspection the mounts are for 87-93 s10 instead of the newer body style. The part # is 969-4516 and they are 69.99 just in case you want to get a pair to try to modify to fit. Goodluck with whatever you decide to do.
