Hey guys...
I was curious if it was possible (or how hard it would be) to swap frames between my 1/2 ton 1937 and a '93 S-10?
Actually I'm interested in swapping much more than the frame as you'll see below.
I am running the original frame and suspension at present and was going to convert to a mustang or S-10 clip sometime soon anyway, but I have an opportunity to get a 1993 S-10 complete with:
-Chevy 350 & 700r4 tranny both aprox. 30,000 kms on rebuild.
-New Edelbrock intake
-New shorty headers
-New starter
-New flow masters(2) (1 3" in and dual 2.5"'s out.
-Edelbrock 750 cfm carb.
-B&M ratchet shifter.
-New custom engine mounts
-New custom tranny mount.
I'm just curious how difficult a swap like this might be given the fact that his truck is already restored "frame off" with no body panels put back on, but all the mechanical stuff already done...
My questions are this:
-Is this swap going to be a nightmare IF we do it and can we anticipate any serious issues?
-Will the frame require much modification in order to fit?
-What do you feel the S-10 would be worth taking all those parts into account and the fact it would reduce the amount of mechanical work needed greatly?
Thanks in advance for your help/insights/suggestions...
