well i have no idea if this is the correct place to post this or not as it is my first post.
so the story is i have a 1994 standard cab short box 2wd s10. came stock with a 2.2L and a 5 speed.
my plan is to take the AAZ that i bought ($340) complete, and make an adaptor plate to bolt it up to the NV3500 trans and modify the chev flywheel to bolt on to the crank.
all i know about this engine is it is out of a 1996 jetta, the turbo is so verry tiny its kinda cute, its a k03 turbo. so basically i wanted to see what you all think about what i am up to. maby some recomendations for mods ect and the other thing i would like to know is how do you get the engine on to TDC to do a timing belt and other things. as i wont be using a vw trans i dont have the hole to look through to line up the marks.
so ladys and gents let me have it

I was thinking of doing something similar too! I have a 1.6TD engine and no current home for it.
I was contemplating a 2000 Chevy S-10 P/U with the 4x4 and ZR2 package. It has a small lift and 31" tyres with fender flares from the factory. I think it would be a badass little toy truck with that VW diesel in it. The motor has parts and work in it to support 200hp, I would most likely limit it to around 150hp for a long reliable life though.
The 4x4 trans has a different bellhousing than the 4x2 trans also. I am really sure both transmissions can be adapted to the watercooled VW pattern though. The only thing I would be concerned with is having a starter with enough "poop" to turn over the diesel fast enough. The 4x2 trans is limited to using a gasser 4-cyl starter, that's one thing I have considered with the swap I planned. With the V6 trans a 6.5l V8 diesel starter can be used, I bet that would spin the VW diesel pretty well.
Anyways, back to yours. That setup would be great for fuel economy for commuting and hauling small loads, and with the 1.9l I bet it would be able to tow a small trailer too! The oil pan would need to be modified a little and the exhaust would be opposite the factory routing but should be rather easy if you keep the original starter location.
Good luck man and most all the people on this forum are helpful and smart, we do have some opinionated know-it-alls tho.....
Thanks

well your truck probably has a 4.3L engine in it, thoes engines use a 90* bell housing, which is the most common chevy design aviable it ranges in engines from a 4.3L all the way up to the big beast 572ci, i have a 1995 s10 that is 4x4 that i stuck a 350ci 4 bolt v8 in to, its a tad bit of a beast, but sucks the fuel up, i actually made the oil pan my self for it. the 94 truck i have with the 2.2L engine had a 60* bell housing which is a totally diffrent beast. the issue with the starter isint too bad i fugure if people can stick the engine in a samauri which is like a 1.3L engine and use the stock starter and trans the gm starter should be more than capable of cranking it over. of course there is always gear reduction units aviable aswell. the 60* bell is common between the 2.2L engines up to the 3.4L v6 engines, so there is lots of stuff aviable

I would use a dial indicator through the injector. Then maybe build a pointer in the chevy trans so you wouldn't have to do it each time.

Once you have your adapter plate and adapter flywheel mounted, pull either injector 1 or 4 and its heat shield. Use a dial indicator with a long rod through the hole in the pre-chamber to find the highest point of the piston. When you're sure you've found it, drill a .25 in. hole in your adapter plate somewhere easy to find. Let the drill bit go a little into your flywheel to make a timing mark. Then drill the hole in your adapter plate to .5 in. so you have a hope in hell of finding TDC again. With the dial indicator in again, check your mark.

next question i have is what numbers should i pull off this thing to see what it actually is, pump, block head ect.. and where are the numbers, all i have really seen are some on the IP and on the back of the block it has 1.9 D/TD cast in to the back side of the block, so what would be good to get. thanks
oh and does anybody want pictures?

Pictures are always welcome.
Get the bosch model number from the injector pump, the block serial number located above the breather snout, bellow the head on the front of the engine, and the model number/make of the turbo, and that should give you most of what you need to know.

There's not much I can pull off in the way of numbers. The engine looks to be from a car with ac, but no EGR, so I would think 93-95. The pump is a 9mm 4 cylinder(given by the top model number's 494 group), but I don't know what the block numbers mean. The turbo on the other hand tells me that its small, and makes maximum boost low down, and may not be best with a transmission geared for a gas engine. A k14 or bigger turbo may give you the power needed to push this chunk of american pig-iron around in the top end.

ya the turbo does look like it was taken away from its mother too soon, i will likely be upgrading it along the way, the t5 trans im going to run actually has a lower 1st and 2nd ratio but then 3,4,5 are a lil higher but i have a fairly low final drive ratio its gunna be a bit of a trial and error deal. i plan on running it as it in stock form and get some fuel mileage numbers then start playin with it, probably do a bigger turbo, govenor mod, bump the timing, gunna have a wide open exhaust rite from the get go 2.5" maby 3" if i find the room, my biggest concern was that this might have been an eco diesel, but from what i have been reading i have a line from the intake manifold to the LDA so i think that i should be ok in that department
