3years ago I built my 16 year old an s10 blazer,350/300, with 700R, used motor mounts from Jegs because they were cheap. Short water pump, headman headers, Radiator from JTR, Astro van power steering pump,alternator, ac setup. It all worked great he drove it for three years,about 40,000 miles. I wanted it for myself it was really quick and suprising it handled good after lowering it 4". Good luck
