Your main issue is going to be the computer and wiring harness to make the engine run. Going from a V8 to a V6 changes things. Hope you have a downer vehicle for the parts.

You will probably have some bugs to work out, bad connections, broken wire and such, but that is to be expected.

V6 to V8 swaps in the S10 are among the easiest swaps to do. There are kits available with every item you will need to make the swap painless. The oilpan for the 4x4 S10's are special. But you can buy one that works with the V8. Exhaust headers are available for the v8 swap for cheap too. Wiring is super simple, most of it will be plug and play. Have fun and play nice boys and girls.
