Honestly, I would take out a loan immediately for a brand new 1993 S-10 with a modern drivetrain
If you had the time and skill, you could buy a new drivetrain and swap it in. I'd wager a modern engine and transmission would be easier to swap into older engine bays since they're so roomy.
I rebuilt an 86 Bronco. I could literally sit in the engine bay to do work on the motor.
Yeah my buddy and I are gonna be swapping something into his S10 soon. He's tossing around the idea of a mustang motor. Why? No clue.
Ford sells electric crate motors now. It's just a matter of finding a way to install a battery. I've thought about trying to electrify an old F150 for shiggles. Throwing 6" of battery/body lift under the bed seems like a not-totally stupid idea.
