Newbie ?
I have aquired an lt1 out of a 95 impalla ss. I want to put it into my 02 s10. I was wondering if it would be better to go carburatred or not. I have mechanical skills to do things. I can lower just about anything. I just don't have much motor knowledge. I don't need the thing to go a million miles an hour. Just a good driver with a lil getty up. Any help greatly appreciated.!
Thanks
Geoff

You might have better luck in the hybrid section, there are quite a few S-10 owners that could point you in the right direction for doing the swap.

if your gonna stay with fuel injection, which i would recomend or esle just get a carbureated 350, you need to have a high level of electrical skills. take it from someone who has done a LT1 swap. its not easy. but once you get it done, it is very nice and dependable and easy to tune. so if you are mostly mechanical and not electrical, i would recomend selling the LT1 and gettin an old 350. but if you need any help let me know.

Ya there's no real point in running a carbed Lt1 just go with your standard SBC for that. The DFI setup is kind of pricy, but if you got the PCM and all the sensors with the Lt1 companies like painless make wiring harnesses for street rods and such. From what I've read I don't think you can do long tubes in a s-10 unless they're custom, but even just a stock Lt1 should have plenty for your needs.
