The Chevy 350 engine works extremely well in the S10 and GMC S15 chassis; if nothing else, even a bone-stock 350 is a sure 25 boost in horsepower and torque over the already fairly stout 4.3-liter V-6 engine. For many, this — combined with a V-8 exhaust note and tire-shredding capability at will — will be enough.
