now my question is, how dificult would it be to turn this 4x4 s10 into a 2wd style drag truck? worth it? after all, the truck was given to me and the engine and tranny are just sitting in my garage. thanks guys for your input. i hope this turns out do-able. |

Re: how dificult
That all depends, I wouldn't bet on the diffs to handle much more than stock power. The swap isn't much harder than doing it to a 2wd. they make a special oil pan you would need to in order to fit over the front diff. everything else should be the same as for difficulty.

Re: how dificult
Yes, front frame sections are different. There was a guy in my town that did one years ago. He cut off the front end and welded a 2wd frame stub back in place. He said it was the best option.
