S-10 2WD swap notes near the exhaust

With BRP headers on this truck, the steering shaft has to come out to fit the driver side header.
The guide requires high mount accessories; factory F-Body or GTO LS accessory drives will not work.
For radiator room the guide suggests a Corvette balancer and water pump with aftermarket alternator and A/C brackets.
The S-10 kit uses the LH8 oil pan, and the tunnel seam lip may need bending for some transmissions.

S-10 2WD LS exhaust FAQ

Does BRP sell headers for a 1982-2004 S-10 2WD LS swap?

No S-10 headers are currently listed. This page carries clamps, reducers, an O2 clamp and header bolts for the exhaust you build.

Why does the steering shaft come out on an S-10 header install?

The guide says the driver side header will not go in with the steering shaft in place, so the shaft is removed to install it.

Can I use the accessory drive from a Camaro or truck LS in my S-10?

The guide says no. Camaro and truck accessories stick out too far and interfere with the radiator and fan, so high mount accessories are required.

Which part steps a 3 inch S-10 exhaust down to 2-1/2 inch?

The 3 to 2-1/2 inch cone reducer set, closed up with the matching 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch band clamps.
