Now if you put a LS1 in the truck...
Insurance stays the same,
Horsepower triples,
Gas mileage probably increases,
You can still haul stuff, tow more too,
Hooking or not, you can still blow the doors off of a lot of cars out there...Wins all the way around.
Eventually I want a LSx powered Sonoma as a toy on the side.

Good those are the pros.. here are the cons.
Wont hook
Swap will cost me 3 times more than what i paid for the truck
LS1 powered S10? What would be the point of my impala?

The swap will not cost 3*$2800.
A LSx powered S10 should be a lot lighter and a lot faster than an Impala.
Plus you'll have sleeper status with the truck. It would be fun.

Just giving you a idea of future plans that I would have with the truck that's all.

I hear you. Its a great idea but not for me. Later on im just gonna buy another F body. This truck will go to my little sister(age 10) when she turns 16. So just gonna make it look nice. Want it to be slow as possible, and get the best MPG's when she gets it.

Isnt there someone on here who has a LS1 powered blazer?

But even if i got the 4.3L V6 i still wouldn't have been able to tow anything i would actually wanna tow. (4300lbs Impala SS)
The 4.3 actually has some *****. My brother used to have a sonoma and SeaDoos with no problem. Yeah if your looking to tow another car, forget it.

sure i coulda done better if i had slowed it down some and cruzed.

gonna do a small tune upair filter, fuel filter, trans/engine oil change, Plugs and wires.)

then we'll see what im getting after that.
check how the trans fluid looks, if it has some minor rust on the dip stick replace the filter and flush it out i noticed that happens alot with the S10s other than that great find
