Hooker BlackHeart, the leader in engine swaps, has just released engine mounting brackets for 1982–2004 GM S-10/Sonoma trucks with LS engines. The brackets (PN 71221029HKR) are designed to be used with BlackHeart transmission crossmembers; together, these products create a trouble-free installation with optimized drivetrain angles.

Stuffing an SB Chevy V8 or new-era LS motor into an S-10/S-15, Blazer/Jimmy, or Sonoma is a complex-yet-rewarding project. Doing the job yourself presents its own set of challenges, not the least of which is finding aftermarket components that work together to make the project run more smoothly.

Trans-Dapt Performance has partnered with Hedman and Hamburger’s Performance to create its Engine Swap-in-a-Box kit—the ultimate S-10 engine swap kit around. Each kit contains motor mounts/pads, a performance oil pan, and a complete set of Hedman hedders. The different kits vary only in regard to the included header; the 44062 contains Standard-Duty HTC-coated factory heads.

  • All parts designed to work together seamlessly.
  • Takes the guesswork out of component selection.
  • Includes motor mounts/pads, performance oil pan, and HTC-coated headers.
