Found this site. It may give you a little help. They have a conversion section. I didn't find anything about a Luv Truck.

Jags That Run has converson books on swaping Ls1's and more for S10's.

I have one of the conversion manuals, its very informative. Well worth reading it.
The first few pages are of wrecked v8 s10's and blazers.

I think the web site is "JTR"..... you can fill in the dot com and www dilly.

yea por-15 is pretty cool works great. suspension is difficult if you havent ever messed with it before. i got most of my info off of here. someone on here mentioned making plates for bottom ball joints but was stuck up trying to sell it and get it patented i just made my own design and welded balljoints in they work fine. more pics coming soon!
