The tranny won't be near strong enough. I'm not sure if the bell housing would fit or not. Best bet would be automatic or finding a 5 speed out of a newer truck.

if you located a t-5 manual out of a 2wd s-10 you could buy a clutch and bellhousing kit from summit or jegs , kinda expensive though , but definetly better than the old 4 speed. or you could swap in a getrag 5 speed out of a newer body style s-10 (94-02) as long as it is out of a 4.3 powered truck

A v6 transmission definately won't hold up to a V8 for any lenght of time. The 2.8 tranny won't work, and while the 4.3 one will, it will break if you run it hard. If you want a cheaper four speed, look for a super T-10 or Muncie M-21 out of a late 70s early 80s Camaro. There are still quite a few around, they are reasonable to rebuild, and are plenty strong for a mild V8 S-10. A better choice if you wanted overdrive is the T-5 from a mid 80s-early 90s Camaro/Firebird, but they aren't quite as strong and probably more money. A good clutch setup is the hydraulic setup from a 4.3 S10. It's all bolt in.

The T-5 is a POS and will not last behind a 350...there's a reason it was never offered behind one.

your best bet is to go with a TH700-R4 automatic trans. It will make life a lot easier and finding one is no problem.
