You even know what class you want to take the truck into? A V8 swap is gonna push you into a really high class. Probaly SM2 with all the supercharged miatas on DOT race tires. You’ll HAVE to use race tires if you ever even want to be noticed in class up that high, even now race tires will net you more time than a V8 swap. Also didn’t a V6 come in those year of S10’s? You can swap in the V6 that came in your year of truck and still stay in a lower class. You’ll probaly be more competive down in a Street Prepared class rather than up in mod. That would be my route, race tires, then maybe a V6. Right now I am looking at SM2, or SM. I am keeping the v8 pretty much stock except for a cam and intake mani set, high flow oil pump, oil cooler, and an oil pan with a windage tray. If my welder stops dicking with me I might convert the rear to a 4 link setup and using some strange engineering coilovers. It is just like an airride configuration, but with coilovers replacing the air bags. The whole reason I am going v8 instead of v6 is that the v8 has very little wiring to deal with, and a huge aftermarket. The v6 has a lot of wiring to deal with, wont work with my current transmission, has a smaller aftermarket, and is harder to maintain. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-know-this-is-a-longshot/185790)._
