Just got it this week, 1994 S10. Going to go with 355/700r4. Will be trying for low 12's in street trim.

I have an 87 S-10 with 355 in it and it is a battle to get things in place so they look good and function properly. I drive mine on the street, and finally at the last race at Greenfeild Dragway I got to run the truck. In full street trim with 3:73's and a TH350 trans and 29.5x9's( all I had for slicks ) it's best was a 13.29@ 103mph, so I know that with smaller slicks or lower gears and better weight transfer that 12's should not be a problem. ;D
I have run across every problem in the book with putting a V8 in an S-10, so all the parts needed to do it and make things easier I already have experienced the headaches. If I can be any help please feel free to ask, I would be happy to help in any way possible.

I've Helped a couple friends do these convo's already, and we're about to start putting a 283 in one to replace a blown 305. I've got a good idea how much of a pain in the A$$ it's gonna be, But It's probly only gonna be barely street legal when I'm done, because I'll get tired of trying to fit stuff around the stock components and end up making a lot more race inspired stuff than I plan to. No matter how I do it it'll be a battle, but it should turn out nice, different too, cause there's not many of these newer style ones out yet in the conversioned form.  |

Hey all, I just scored a 95 9C1 350 LT1 out of a cop car. This should make the S10 a bit more driveable but still work d**n good.

my firend and i put a 305 in his 95 s10, it had 4:10 gears and it runs okay, not been to the track hope to go next week but traction is his issue. its really not that hard of a swap.
