Why do you even care?
yes
The 302 is alredy balanced. You do need to install a piolet berring in the rear of the crankshaft.
You can use ATF (automatic transmission fluid)
Manual 75W. Automatic ATF-G
Yes it will bolt up, But you can't use it on that year because the 96 is all computer controled and must have the 4L60E transmission put back in it so all the electronics will work right. The 82 transmission is not a electronic transmission. WILL NOT WORK.
Yes they did. I had one. It had a 4.9 liter engine and manual transmission.
On the side of the transmission underneath the vehicle. This requires a pump to add trans lube.
s-10s were not produced till 1982. It is probably a C10 and it's all about the condition, the engine, the transmission, the wheel base, the bed style and the original factory accessories, need more info.
Depends on what the bell housing for the trans is off of.
I'd use 90w gear oil..
If yours is a manual, it'll be an NV3500. If it's an automatic, you'll have the 4L60 (NOT the 4L60E). Pretty much any Chevy 4x4 Blazer (full sized and S10), S10/K15, or 1500 pickup with a five speed manual will be compatible, so that would pretty much be the 1998 model year and up.With the automatic, the 4L60 was a slight variation of the 700R4, and I believe the two mechanically-controlled automatics should be a direct swap (although they won't be compatible with the electronically-controlled 4L60E, introduced in 1993). The 700R4 went into production for the 1982 model year, so any 700R4 or 4L60 transmission fro 1982 to 1992 should be compatible. Keep in mind this transmission will have to come from a four wheel drive truck, as the 2WD transmission doesn't have the mounting face for the transfer case, plus it has a different output shaft.
You have to go through the glove box, there is a diagram in Chilton manual or on google images on how to take it apart.
