i have a 1984 chevy s10 4x4 with a 2.8 and want to swap in a 350 small block.i was wondering if it will bolt up to the stock 4 speed manual transmision without changing the bell housing.

I am in the process of doing a swap in my 1991 S10. Although I started with a 4.3 / 700R4. Unless you really want to stay with your stick, I would think about using a 700R4. You can try to find a 5spd out of a 4.3. Check out the following sites.
