> [@JayS](#): > > ^ even then, with the weight distribution of a small pickup, traction is going to be an issue. Even putting 10" of contact patch on each side isn’t going to help with no weight on that patch. Ya, i know that, with the current s-10 (2000 4.3 auto) the thing is so ass happy in the snow with only 150 +/- rwhp, over 300 on dry pavement would definatly be a trip. I definatly know im going with a 383 now. Somewhere along the line id like to take a nice clean 80’s fullsize and do a built 454 swap. But anyways… Kinda still stuck on the choice of tranny. Leaning moreso or less towards the t-56. ---

Sounds like it should be a fun project. A V8 mini-truck has always been on my list of “someday” projects. ---
