Thanks for the kind words guys. It has a 275/40 on it now but obviously not in a drag radial compound.

There is no kit out there for these or reaI aftermarket like cc05 said. The only real hard part to make was the manifold and even that wasn't bad.

this all started as a little m90 i got off craigslist for 50 bucks and duct taped to it.

If a fellow can stuff a Duramax into an S10, I don't think an I6 would be an issue in a Rado.

Dang right. Much cheaper option than trying to fit a random powerplant into these trucks. Btw, wtf do you have going on in that engine bay pic? A Harrop?
