So since I originally wanted a ZR2 but couldnt afford it, I found one that has a blown up motor in it, its pretty much bone stock and I always wanted a v8 s10 so im doing a vortec 350 swap into it.
its a 2000 S10 ZR2 extended cab 5 speed
its pewter silver in color and needs alot of help that I will be giving it soon.

Nice job on the suspension. They're cool little trucks!

Nice project, and it looks like you are really getting into it. I have an '86 4X4 S-10, with the 2.8 V6 & 4-speed. It also has a 3" lift on it. I fixed it up a few years ago, with new fenders, doors, and all the cab corners & mounts etc. Likely spent twice as much on it as it's worth. ( why do we do that ?) Sad

Engine mount relocation brackets, You have to use these on a zr2 because there was no other engine option on a zr2 other than a 4.3l so GM decided to weld the frame mounts to the frame instead of bolt on ones on all other s10s. So Im stuck using the really crappy 4.3L mounts with a v8 which they are not strong enough for even a 4.3L
