2000 S10 Xtreme Drag Truck

[SCOTI]

I'll make it out to see this thing run one of these weekends. Clean little ride for sure.

Thank you, I had a race scheduled up in Ardmore Sunday June 4th but it was canceled due to bad weather. Not sure when the makeup race will be for it. My next race is scheduled for Texas Motorplex on August 6th and then out to Redline on August 27th. I need to get out for some test runs while our club is off.

Noted. Both are possible opportunities to see some action.

Absolutely will do.

Building a new motor for the S10. This one will be 430 with a 4" stroke, 14.5 CR and Brodix 225 Dragon Slayer heads. Here are some pics of the 1010 cfm Dominator E85 carb that will used on it. Hopefully soon I will have some pics of the motor for all to see.

The Carb Shop has it noted as Billet 4500 E85 carb with black bowls and metering blocks.

Ok, while I am waiting for the new motor to be finish up and dyno 'ed I decided to fix a couple of important issues.

I had a leaking rear-axle bearing. This 9inch axle ends do not use a seal. So, the correct way I was told to fix it was by cleaning the bearing and its bearing bore. Then install a new Oring in the bearings outer groove, put RTV on outer bearing race and in bearing bore. Slide it all together, bolt it and let it cure. I hope this fixes it.

I also found a loose triangular bar that's on the 4 link. Not sure why this loosened up. I added a flat washer and new lock nut. Its super tight now. I oiled all of the rod ends and made sure everything was tight.

I also, went through the ATI Pro T400 transmission and cleaned it up. All looked good and I installed new pickup tube orings and filter. I will fill with new ATI Super F trans fluid once its back in the S10. I also installed a new Autometer transmission temp gauge. I broke the capillary tube when I removed the old one from the trans pan. Yes, that's a very small converter. It's an 8" Billet 4900rpm stall from ATI.

The little S10 is getting a new heart. This one is a 430 sbc and the power numbers are 713hp at 6500rpm and 629tq at 5400rpm. Still running E85 as my fuel choice. The little S10 should fly.

Nice new bullet there.

I wish e85 was more available near me, I would make the switch.

Ok, the motor and transmission are in. Waiting for a few parts such as new vacuum pump, crank trigger and throttle cable bracket to finish the install. These should arrive this week. Then I can start it up.
