I've got better pics, but they are on imagestation. It's an 87 s-10 sport, came stock with dualie flares. It's got a stock long block 350 in it with about 40 grand on the engine. Holley dual plane intake and 750 carb. Trans is a TCI streetfighter 3 speed with a 2400 stall (anti ballooning for nitrous). And a 12 bolt eaton posi 4:10 gear rear in the back.

 

Super Comp headers and 3" Flowmasters straight out the back, no cat.

 

It moves pretty good and if I stomp on it it'll spin them through the gears until I let off the gas if I want to. And thats with 11 inches of tread. The guy before me had a 327 with nitrous in it that was running low 10's with it. I want to beat my dad's nova that will run high 8's.....but I need a lot of motor to do that. I was going to use a 400 engine thats in pieces that my dad bought with a race block he wanted. It's a proven 500hp 500ft/lbs torque setup normally aspirated that I was going to throw nitrous on. But this looks a lot more along the line of what I want to do. And banks says their turn key's are good for at least 100 grand on the odometer.

 

 

I just threw this engine in it until I finish building the chassis and interior. It's getting a notched frame with a ladder bar setup with a shortened rear so I can throw some monster meats under it, fronts going all tubular a-arm setup. It's gonna get a whole frame off with painless wiring and the bed is going to have the fender flares mold into the body better, and for the lights it'll have little chevy symbols that'll light up. It should be pretty trick......last but not least it will be painted a dark dark dark black cherry. It'll be black until the light hits it, then way down deep in the paint you'll see the black cherry a little bit. Saw it done with a blueberry color on an impala once and it was pretty darn sweet. I'm really into the deep colors.

how much does one of those twin turbo motors cost? i have a 1949 ford F-1 that im rebuilding that im looking to put some sort of UNnaturally aspirated engine into. i can pretty much fit anything up under the hood, this looks like a damn good prospect to me. all stock looking on the outside of the ole truck, but when you hit the gas, the motherfucker comes to life. money isnt an object when it comes to the engine. does anyone know the cost of one?

How many hp do the front and rear visers add?

 

It's got drag springs in the front, thats why its got so much rake. And the weight transfer is great on it. Reread my post and you'll see why its still sitting like that. It's a work in progress and a couple years down the road I'll show you another pic and you can tell me if you still think its ugly.

 

My biggest decision is if I want to incorporate the upper silver paintline somehow into the paintjob still. I see two tone grey ones like that all the time, but the s-10 sport with the dualie flares came with the added paintline on the top as well. There's probably only a handful left.......I only know of one other.
