1983 s-10 400hp 355 v-8 first drive. missing 2nd gear still smokes tires through 3rd

im sure that thing rips, nothing like a nice big engine in a small truck :P doing a ls-1 swap into my 1991 s-10 tahoe (blazer)

[TradingCarz]

when you do this to a s10 its like putting a V8 in a cardboard box car. s10s have shitty frames and wont hold them unless you do it right



[burnbabey12]

@TradingCarz Really dad helped my uncle while back they had no problems

[POWERTROLL5000]

@TradingCarz You've stated something you know nothing about. LOL 82-92 were the best years for strong chassis'. I have an '88 S10 with a 305 in it pushing 380+ horses with nothing but a few engine mounts and a rear end from a monte carlo. No frame modifications AND I can load it up to redline, then dump the clutch with no problems. Not saying I do, but I can and have done it. GG

@POWERTROLL5000 wait a minute, u have a 305 with 380 plush horsepower......please put up some dyno vids, i had an 82 with a 305 with, heads, cam, full 3 inch exhaust, and a trubo 350 trans, ford 9 inch with 4.10s and put downn 285.....what did you do to a 305 to make 380 plus wheel power, let alone 380 at the crank, i have yet to see it w/o nitours

[POWERTROLL5000]

@horsevet20 Oh yeah I was exaggerating. Lol makin it seem better. I don't know the horses I just know it's a Ford Buttstang eater. My guess would be about 250-270 hp to the rear wheels.

[horsevet20]

@POWERTROLL5000 ok well dont get me wrong i love the v8 s10's, in fact just picked up my second one today, my first was a 305, with ported heads, cam, air gap intake, full exhaust, holley 750 carb, turbo 350 trans with a 2500 stall, shift kit, ford 9 inch with 410 gears. and with slicks i ran a mid to high 13's. i have a foxbody with gt40p heads, x 303 cam, bbk long tubes, typhoon intake, drag springs and a 5 speed and i run 12.0s ill race you ne time for 500 bucks u pick when

[buttmanroad]

Hope you have good Brakes

[jamesegg007]

alsome truck well at least you still had 4th gear to dyno it with

[Dueceyopushy]

Did you dyno it? How was you able to come up with 400 hp?

[1000cfm]

pussie truck

[1lilstein3]

what type of rear do you have ?

[rollsteam]

You must be running a turbo 350 I have broke three of them finely went to a power glide.Truck looks good and sounds good.

[BLOWNCHEVYMAN]

u can find that type of bumper on the lmc trucks catalog

[mxkx48]

How fast is it? sounds nice!

[dtpchilli4life]

Sweet. Is that a blazer rear bumper or what? I haven't seen an s10 look decent with anything but a rollpan or no rear bumper, until now. Good job.

[ss10ist]

ur s10 sounds awesome

[bigdoo350]

love it
