My dad bought a truck last month and has been bugging me about building it... I'm in the Marine Corps now and will be going home for good the first week of December, he wants to build it over about 4-5 months to have it ready for the summer/next fall...

Its a '93 S10 reg cab short bed
It already:
tubbed
4 link
9" with some DEEP gears (I think it was setup for 1/8 mile before)
aluminum interior
aluminum seats
full autometer gagues
setup for GEN I/II smallblock
has some M/T front runners and some 32x14-15 M/T's out back

it has no motor or trans

I have been thinking about a GEN III 370+cid motor and a 'glide. Two stages of the good stuff 150 first stage and about 250 more after that He wants to do a carb style intake so a plate/DP nitrous system would be the way to go IMO for two stages. I'm not sure on heads, or rotating assembly but its going to have to be some stout stuff to handle all that juice. We'll probably go with about a 4500 or slightly larger stall and a nice bumpy cam... probably in the 250* .640 range...

I'll need all the input I can get... We're trying to run, um, FAST... no expected times or goal times just yet, we just want it to be scary fast... I'll want to drive it on the street from time to time at home too...

 

post some pics.....!!!!!

 

I dont have any pics of it, I know the truck though from seeing it at the track at home. Its flat black as far as I can remember, with Lexan windows... the trucks number used to be on the rear window written in 2% wimdow tint, it was pretty cool....

 

Im selling my polished vic jr and nitrous pro flow plate system along with the edelbrock 4barrel tb, if your dad is interested ben, sounds like exactly what you want.

 

I'll let him know... it'd be tapped for a DP shot as well...

 

is this what you have on the truck right now?
any pics of the setup?
the wheels are turning in my head, not for blue though. hehe

 

The Chevelle getting the hose Lance??

 

slowly but surely ben.
it will probably be at least a 3 year project.
restore the whole car, chassis, bodywork, drivetrain, the whole 9 yards.

 

No it has never been installed jsut been sitting in a box.
Very slick setup IMO

 

cool... I bet it will be a beast. I hope Dad's truck turns out nice. He's ready to go fast again after having some health problems over the past few years. I told him I'd help him put it together once I got back.... I'm really shooting for some deep 9's but I dont know...
