Post s-10 is dead for a while

i was doin a little racing and i had a problem occur in the form of a head gasket. guess stock internals on a 4.3 arent made for boost. well im guessing my truck wont be running again till june or so (giving a little padding to work with). i plan on doin the stuff myself. i know its a lot of work but i need to save on labor badly!! it should run a little better when its running again. if it runs again. later

well...every internal besides the crank will be new, including forged as surfin said as well as a cam, and new heads going onto it. gettin a .030 bore as well. ive been lookin at cranks and there is a crank that puts me at a 320 cubic inch v6, but the stroker crank alone is right at 2000$ so im not gonna go that route. when its running again it should go 12's. later

Sorry to hear about your ride! I wondered how long it would last running the times you were running. I have to say I was surprised! Well, now you know the limitations on the stock stuff, and know now where to put your money! Then again, you could sell the go-fast parts, put the S-10 together stock, sell it and get a L!!!! Hope all goes well for you. Keep us posted.

I applaud you for actually making your extreme fast, most just put stickers on them and race honda's. Good luck with your rebuild but don't get carried away with forcasting 1/4 times or you'll get slammed later.

Cool

4.3, Are you going to go with that HUGE stroker?? 320ci V-6 thats unreal. Id like to see what kind of power it would make though. Talk about a sleeper, geez. Or put some spray on that 320 and it could get sick.

honestly i dont think the strokers in reality for me, the crankshaft for that stroker kit alone would run me right at 2000 dollars. i cant afford that in the time frame im looking at. trust me, if i could i would, that cranks suppose to be capable of 800 hp and god knows i will never touch that. later

Brett

BTW that crank would probably cost me a lot more in parts than im lookin at wanting to get.....ie..transmission, rear end, ect.
