I'd say summit is your best bet, they usually have the best prices, you might also coonsider finding a muffler shop that can build you a 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust, it would probably be cheaper that way. They make some pretty crazy power out of those 4.3s, this samurai place has one with a 4.3 swap that's got 500 hp. http://www.suzukiconversion.com/sale.htm# it's the blue and yellow one on the bottom of th page.

you could always go the lingenfelter route, if I remember correctly a few years ago they stuffed a turbo 427 into one of those. Didn't run well though.

i'd look into the s10 forums to see what kind of cheap or free mods you can do first then go from there.. bravada's aren't made to be rockets but with the awd and the right stuff can be pretty fun:thumb:

I know of a few people that have done motor swaps on these trucks.. anywhere from 383 strokers to turbo'd 4.3's just have to figure out how much you want to invest money wise and time wise first before you start throwing parts on it.

Yes but different internally and the transfer case is different

i dont think the syclone and blazer/jimmy/bravada awd systems are the same considering that the syclone/typhoon were pretty well built... heres your site though http://www.s10forum.com/forum/index.php? also i know a few people that put superchargers on 4.3s and get a decent amount of power..
