winter build
Its been a long time since I was here, but thought I would check in again.
I had a buddy send me this truck as a surprise and I thought I would try something different.
I have done a jag clip, and olds v8 swap in my other truck, but this time I wanted to try an s10 swap.
Its been a pretty smooth build so far. I used an 85 gmc sonoma . A little 305, and turbo 350.
My truck is 47 Kb2.
I thought I would need to alter the wheel base, or shorten the kb, but it fits pretty good. I used a short box, extended cab.
I bought headers for an s10 v8 swap, built my own engine mounts, and trans mount. I am using the s15 diff, with 355 gears.
Not sure if I want to go electric or mechanical fuel pump yet, but I am using the s10 column, fuel tank and brake booster.
I am using the kb rad, and after market gauges in a home made dash.
I am also using 1 1/2" wheel spacers on all 4 corners. I haven't altered the s10 ride height yet, but we will see how it goes.
I was originally going to try and make a flip front end, but decided against it for now.
