it already has lowering blocks and I think springs, other than that maybe an ebay ā€˜kitā€™ with new front suspension linkage and what not. NO airbags or hydraulics or anything like that ---

looking good man, and as for s10forums, dont bother with build threads, just browse to find info on there. its best that way haha. if you got any questions about these trucks lemme know, and as for the 8.8 rear, how much power you pushing? youd be surprised with the 7.5 itll take abuse about up to 400-450 horse with gears locker welded tubes and a braced housing cover. if your that high in hp and tracking it every week it will go though. as for the rear suspension, ive seen 500hp ls1 swapped s10s cut 1.5 60 fts on stock leafsprings with caltracks and stickies and a good locker. best part about this truck is its the same color as my truck haha. ---

well youll have to get me some info on the rear end some time. and as fas as suspension goes, I just want something that will hook good at the track and allow for some spirited driving on occasion. If I can get that done with leafs then thats fine with me. and it will be black come spring, btw. lol ---

^^^when i made mine i cut the ends off the factory mount and used a 3/16" wall round tube about 1-1/2" diameter and welded the ends onto it the used 1/8" plate at the mount for the tranny and boxed in the 3 sides for the mount. i imagine youll be fine with the angle iron however i dont like how its welded on the frame, i see the corners being a stress point at the weld and possibly cracking it over time. ---

the actual cross bar isnt welded to the frame. it bolts to the brackets I made. and the diagonal bar I drew in will bolt in also. its kinda hard to explain with wordsā€¦ ---

cool swap lol. a buddy of mine did the 350 swap in a 94 teal s10. originally a 4.3L 5-speed truck, he bolted the engine right up to the trans and kept the 4wd. made for an easy swap. rust freaks me out though. šŸ™‚ plus i hate repairing rust damage. Brian ---

yea, its pretty rusty. but the 94 is in ALOT better shape than the 98. hopefully I can get something done this weekend. I have to change all 4 shocks/struts on a 93 camaro then attend a bachelor partyā€¦ ---

If it wobbles bad it gives me an excuse to get the ford 8.8 sooner and get a drive shaft made up for real. I just want it driveable asap. I am working in my friends garage (with a dirt floor on 3/4 of it) with a parted out 240 and s10 sitting on his yard. I feel bad and want to get it wrapped up asap. is this a good place to use QFT? idk what that means though, seems right. lol ---
