Thanks, You can find junk S10's for $200.00 or less localy if you look for them. I got one for $30.00 one time and paid too much lol. I have a V8 S10 you can get the conversion mounts used. I got mine and the headers off of ebay for less than $100.00. It would probably be more inexepensive to do that than buy a S10 that already has the V8. I'm not even sure the V8 S10 mounts will move the engine back far enough.Does anyone know? I already had the frame left over from fixing my 95, so I'm going to use it . It's a 2 piece deal. Cut some welds trim a few inches off and slide it together for the right wheelbase. I'll probably put it on the alignment machine to get the axle centerline perfect, but it's not really necessary i'm just anal that way.
