You should be able to find one pretty cheap, just keep your eyes open. Maybe Craigslist or e-bay, check junk yards, peoples' yards. Another option, there are usually quite a few newer engines (4.8, 5.3) with tranny accessories, and ecm included that you can get off e-bay pretty cheap. All you'd have to do is wire up the ignition, battery, and what-not. Would be a fairly simple swap and you'd have a great long lasting, decent MPG vehicle with great power. I did a quick search and found several 5.3's with ecu's and all accessories for between $500-1500.

Yep I agree. Your best bet is to get both the engine and transmission along with a computer. There's several V-8 S10s running around here so it's a common conversion.
