I bought one after owning a Ford and Chevy sucks. My Ford was way better. Faster, got 12 milesa to the gallon, and was more dependalbe. You guys that buy Chevys are fools and suckers. And I looked better driving it.

There is bad chevies and bad Fords too. Chevy does not have the market cornered on lemons and Ford has had more than its fair share of them, consider yourself lucky with your Ford, not the norm.

Better than this guy?
Finally, something I agree with from the snoman.

It does happen from time to time.
Well, so far...just once. But I'll note it on my calendar and wait for the next to approximate your inferred hypotheses.

I wouldn't wait, the next time might be a few years from now.
He is good on the technical side, as in troubleshooting. Otherwise his name says it all.
I have to go with the Snoman-why not save up a little more money and buy a chevy. Ford sux.
On some level they all suck.

If I knew how to shove a Ford 302 or Dodge 318 into a 4WD S10 I'd be doing that right now instead of typing out a newsgroup post.
First, get an oxy-acetylene torch....

How about a 350?

Several reasons. The SBC (like the 4.3) is too wide for the S10 and has clearance problems. Because of this, the stock 4.3's in the S10's had overheating issues, and 350's are even harder to keep cool. The SBC (like the 4.3) puts the distributor in a terrible place; you have to pound out the firewall and timing is still a PITA. Chevy blocks are soft and the cylinders wear out too fast compared to their Dodge and Ford counterparts -- I won't rebuild a Chevy unless I can sleeve all the cylinders. Chevy engines are also heavier than their counterparts.
And it's been done so many times that it's almost a cliche'.
Oh! You meant you wanted to keep the front end intact.

The front end can handle the weight just fine with different shocks and a couple minor mods. The issue is the maximum practical horsepower the truck can use. You can reach that mark from any small block V8, so might as well go with the the lighter engines. The 302 is the lightest of the group and would probably be my first choice.
Silly Boy:
Put a Chevy motor in it, it will fit easier and not turn a perfectly good truck, into a piece of s*it!
