Marc Lewis at Hedman Headers was pretty excited to tell us about the newest kits created to make swapping a V8 into the S-10 platform a breeze.  The components in the kit are all products manufactured by the companies in the Hedman performance group.

Lewis explained; “The V8 engine transplant into the S-10 chassis is a very popular but complex procedure.  We’ve taken the guess work out and provided all the performance parts and knowledge in one box.  All the customer has to do is provide the engine.”

“Our latest kits are for the 1982-2004 Chevy S-10 with four wheel drive,” added Lewis.  These kits include Headers that are designed to fit around steering and suspension in these tight engine compartments.  Add the Hamburger oil pan and Trans-Dapt Motor mounts, put them in one box with all the necessary gaskets and you have the “engine swap in a box”.
