would it fit the stock tranny? btw: is there a forum for this or something? maybe a good explanatory FAQ or TUT. I may do a swap. Although i think we just gonna run the ***** out of this van and kill it. It was only 1G. We'll see...

THX on the replys though...

Petrol engine in a van =

Twin turbo 5 litre diesel! Torque in one of those would spank the petrol Chevy

yes, but that's the opinion on your side of the pond. here it's different

after all we pay only a third than what you pay for "petrol" Commonly known as GAS

Well since its a 94 van it should use the 4L60e 4 speed electronically controlled auto, thats the same tranny used by just about all GM RWD cars and light duty trucks, if you get the Engine computer and wiring harness from an 98+ V6 camaro auto it should be a fairly painless swap. the only problem is your truck is ODBI and the series II 3800 is ODBII so some issues are a pain. www.L67swap.com has more info on swapping that type of engine, although its geared towards the supercharged version, most of the info is the same. you might also want to find a S10 forum since the newer version of the vortec 4300 is a direct bolt on (pretty much all GM engine bolt up to all GM transmissions) and yields you a little more torque than the 3800 but the computer would have to be swapped in the same way. you could always swap in the supercharged 3800 as well but the intake will have to be reworked. Holden uses the engine in RWD cars in austrailia so they have the parts.

i think i'm not gonna do anything to this truck, rather use it, and kill it. than it's up for parts. i got the truck for $1000 so i'm not investing too much in it...
