hmmmmm .......well I'm about a 19 hour drive away from you

besides it's a 7500+lb 4x4 with a diesel, don't think it'd be much of a race eh [img]smile.gif[/img] (those 4.3 s10's are fairly quick if I remember right)

would be fun though ..........

how bout a pulling contest

I know this id rude, but I got to ask, why would you waste such a sweet sweet engine by sticking it in an S10 .............

and before you ask, yes I used to own an S10, that's why I'm asking [img]smile.gif[/img]

Beocuse it only cost me 300$ and this is my toy truck, and I wanted my truck turbo'd.. Soo $300 to me was a steal for a rebuilt engine and rebuilt turbo... Now I have the 2.8L that came with the truck witch is pretty much pouched.. it would cost more thne $300 to fix, as well as the tranny... Now with my luck.. The 3.8L v6 turbo engine is infact the same block degree... So the swap is simply and easy.. But nothing is easy when it comes to swaping a engine. This will be my first. Also why did i not go with a v8? Well ever s10 I see or hear about has a 305 or 350 here.. So I wanted something different and turbod.. So just got lucky.

This why...
