A big block WILL just SLIDE in. They have motor mounts that work directly with s10's for big block swapping and only run a mere $150. Just like the small block swaps which as well slide into place, the big block will do the same thing and trans will be correct as well. You don't have to chop cut and rebuild the front end like most negative or some never tried person says(most likely those who never tried or works at a shop where they chop everything they get so those types never listen too). The Cross member for most auto transmissions work with ever so slight modding IF ANY. Whatever you do, DO NOT chop off the wires on the electronic speed gear depending on your year model, you can get wires to extend down to the trans of your choice and RETAIN YOUR SPEEDO!! I explain this from first hand experience and the least amount of modding as with any drag car/truck you build is the exhaust. They also made s10 swap headers for big blocks too but if you can save the money and slip away with your choice. Just be sure your choice will allow enough room to clear under the firewall and from there you can have custom exhaust done at your local shop but after you fire up that BBC, you probably wont need any extra piping ;-) Last thing, after you have done your swap, be sure to make it a priority to get a rear end or get a posi for your current rear. That 550ft lb torque will grenade that rear sooner or later the more and more you smash into the gas I promise. :-) take care and happy building

How do you convert a small block to a big block motor in a 1970 Chevy truck?

It sounds like you want to know how to change the engine in a 1970 Chevy truck from a small block to a big block. If that is the case; there is no difference in the mounting of the engine to the transmission or motor mounts. The exhaust system will need to be changed, and the small block radiator might not be big enough to handle the extra heat made by a big block when it's being worked. (such as on a hot day or pulling a heavy load)
