Default 1993 S10 - V8 Swap

Yea... I just bought a 1993 S10 and im looking to swap the 2.8L V6 with a V8 - 350. I've never done a swap before on a truck, especially not from a v6 to a v8. I figured someone on "Drag" could help me out with picking out a motor, tranny, rear end (if needed), ect....

First off, what kind of motor should i get (what kind of car/truck, what year, so on) I've read and had a couple people tell me "Just get a 350 motor and a turbo 350 tranny". Ok?? So can this 350 be a Dodge 350? Ford 350? Or does it have to be a Chevy 350? And then this turbo 350 tranny, what does this come out of? The current tranny is just a standard 5 speed. Any input on how to do this, or a step by step link to doing this would be MUCH MUCH appreciated. I've heard that this can done for pretty cheap and thats wut i like to hear. I have a little bit of money to work with right now... Thanks for everyones advice ahead of time.


PS- I only get on the computer every 3-4 days so if it takes me a while to respond do not be *shocked* ... THANKS!!!
