i have done a few motor swaps before and have some idea what is involved. your looking at a major project. the only way i would even try it is if you could get an entire driveline out of a salvage truck and swap everything over. pieceing together all the parts is going to cost you a fortune.

My friend wants to drop a 5.3 in his 03 s10. I told him it will take a long time to do, but he's wants to do it when he hits 100k on his truck. It would be cool to see a 5.3 in a s10.

the trans will work, you just need to change the bellhousing to the v8 one. It is an easier swap than the v8 into an s10 because the 1/2 tons are designed for the motor so there is no custom parts needed.
I think its easier than everyone is making it out to be, we were gonna do it to my brother's truck but he missed out on a good deal on a motor and ended up selling it and bought a 2500hd. If you really want to do it, go for it and keep track of all the parts needed so that way others can know what they are getting themselves into.
