hello, my names Jason, i just got an s10 with a blown up 4.3 v6 and i want to go to a v8. i got a 283 but needs rebuilt and the rebuild kit is expensive so i was wondering if i put a 350 crank in it what else would i have to change. basically I'm on a tight budget and need to get it rebuilt as cheap as possible but still have it a screamer. It will be fuel injected :)

thanks guys for any help i receive

Find someone that'll trade you the 283 for a 350. That's what i did. A 350 will make for a faster truck for less money too. 283's aren't as common as a 350 so the parts for the rotating assembly (bottom end) will be more expensive. Chances are you'll find someone looking to have a more unique engine for their nostalgic build. :thumbup:
