S10 info

[kidwired]

I think my jeep 2.5 is the same motor thats in the s10.
the tranny jeep used is a POS, ( no adapters for this motor either , novak or AA)I'm hoping the s10 has some better tranny options that I can adapt.
anyone here know or know an s10 site?
I'm also interested in s10 performance upgs, cam, heads etc

That S-10 site will help you. The manual trannys changed around 88-89 from a T-5 to an NV3500.

www.off-road.com (http://www.off-road.com) , pretty good , i have some friends who are in the prcess of making an
excellant site for s10's , its just not ready yet

The GM 2.5L was only used in 80-83 CJ's, and the AMC 2.5L was used in YJ's, TJ's, and XJ's.

I received an email from novak, they say their working on adapters for the sm465, sm420,t18 and sm435. If I"m right s10 guys might be able to use these too

[kidwired]

is the bolt pattern the same?

S10-4x4.com? HAHAHAHAHAH!!! If you are looking for spark plug wires to match your interior trim package, or to find the best wax to use on your truck, by all means, head on over there.

If you want answers, ask BadBowtie over on off-road.com He can tell you more than you want to know about S-10s.

Don't know for sure, but the Chevy 2.5L has the Chev small block bellhousing pattern and I doubt that the AMC has this.

2.5 is a 4 banger? right? 4.3 is the same as a small block.

[jasonmt]

So is the 2.5L - has the chev small block bellhousing pattern, same as a 4.3L. You can use the bellhousing off of jeeps with this engine to bolt up a ford transmisson to a chev engine!! ( any chev engine with the small block bolt pattern )

Alright man. You have me confused. The 2.8 and the 4.3 are both V6 engines. The 4.3 has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as a small block. The 2.8 does not. The 2.5 IS in fact a 4 banger (says right in my Chilton's manual), so why would it have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as a small block?

[jasonmt]

The chev 2.5 L is a inline 4 engine, but for some reason ( Transmission/Parts Availability ?? ) it does have a Chev. small block bellhousing pattern as well as the 4.3L engine. Here is a picture for you:<IMG width=373 height=238 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/gm1511.jpg">

The only thing the amc 2.5 and the GM 2.5 share is displacement... Bolt patterns are completely different... Good luck finding something that will work for you...

I like White Knights version better! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

the s10 bellhousing fits the amc
this guy used and s10 bh to adapt an sm420

"The bell housing used for this swap is the bell housing from an 1986 Chevy S-10 with a 2.8 V6 and a five speed. The hydraulic slave cylinder, pressure plate, throwout bearing, clutch release fork, and fork pivot ball from the S-10 are also used. The clutch disk to use is from a 83 Jeep CJ-7 with a 4 cyl engine. The original pilot bushing from the YJ can be used."

Well kid. Sounds like you're looking for that small V6 Bell and your good to go.

Yes my junk's a jeep. But just the tub and frame. And it's got the heart of a Chevy baby <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
