I was just reading about folks putting one of those truck bodies on an S10 chassis. If you got a 2WD 4.3 truck, it's pretty easy to toss in a V8 and run it off the same ECN- your ECM mods could literally be plug and play if you went with a TBI 4.3 to a TBI 5.7 (literally unplg the 4.3 ECM and plug in a 5.7 ECM, or if you wanted to get complicated you could swap out a few chips.

I've done a 4WD V8 swap in an S-series, it wasn't that hard (do bear in mind my 4WD system at the time wasn't factory- I went SAS first). Apparently an advantage of going with the S-series frame swap is that you get modern braking, steering, suspension, etc, all in one fell swoop, while only really having to design body mounts.
