Yeesh, I meant to put this in the 60-66 thread... Yeah I figured the 3.08 would be a dog but it would be way easier. I guess ill look into the T5 swap, thanks. Also, I have read that the S10 trannies were rated for 220lb torque, the little 230 isnt even near that, is it? And for calculating gear ratios, whats the top rpm for a six? 3800 or so?
