I have an 88 chevy s-10 with a 2.8 and Im wondering if I can put a 4.3 in without changing the tranny and transfer case. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, been there tried that. Gotta change the radiator too.
RJ in WV
Adapter plate between motor and transmission
Here are some links u will need
Short answer is No. Long answer is no.
Tranny is incompatible. the 3.1 or 3.4L GM motor will match with the bell housing from the 2.8L

No..
Tip: sell truck, buy the one you want. MUCH cheaper.
yuo really think it's wise to spend $600 on an adaptor plate?
REAL dumb move-- for about $1000, you could buy a truck with the 4.3 already in it.
not to mention s10-4x4.org
he could also search the google archives of this group. Question is only asked 4-6 times a month.....
