then we're cool. 2.3s are great if you don't need 400+ rwhp. I do.
I left out an important detail about my swap. Between the SBC block and the moroso mounts, I had a set of Advance Adapters plates for putting the SBC into an s-10 that had a 4.3. Summit sells them as PN ADD-713123. There are 4 pieces in this kit. I wasn't using the smaller 2.
Also I wish to note that just because something fit for me doesn't mean you don't need to check yours for yourself. My crossmember had a slot to allow front-to-back adjustment, the Advance plates are slotted fore-to-aft, and it's most important that the slip yoke be 1" from bottomed with the rear of the car supported by the rear axle only, not letting the axle hang while jackstands hold the body. Best to put the stands under the axle.
If this means having to clearance the oilpan with a hammer, that's okay.
