Yes. Since we needed hood clearance, we switched to an alternator with a smaller case. The original alternator charged fine but the replacement was wired a little differently and required pretty much a trigger wire

@seanwelch9402 I originally used the stock S10 radiator and it’s been a few years so if I remember correctly I think I used either stock hoses from the vehicle or stock ones for the 94 Chevy 1500 that the engine came out of. When I did the newer front end swap, I used an Amazon radiator to replace the smaller stock one. Only problem that presented me with though was adding an external transmission cooler because even though Amazon seller claimed it would fit S10, it didn’t and the rad cooler fitting were not stock size
