'91 s10 short box 2wd with carb'd 6.0

Hey guys brand new here thought i would share my build info with you guys. I put a carb'd 6.0 with L92 heads and a comp cam in my '91 s10. It started as a low mileage junk yard shortblock. I put in a XR281HR comp cam,ARP rod bolts,ARP head bolts, HD LS3 timing chain and some Pac 1218 beehives. Then topped it off with an L92 Victor Jr. intake and a Proform 750 DP. The trans is a th350 with a 3400 stall and the rear end is a disc brake ford 8.8 with 373 gears and a posi. It puts out about 550 crank shaft HP. The truck will smolder the tires off at freeway speeds. This thing is fun!

Pretty cool looking. Sounds like a sweet combination of quality parts. Have you had a chance to put it on a dyno yet?

No dyno time yet. I built the motor part for part from a carcraft write-up and they dynoed it at 551hp at 6700rpms.

I think I have some more pictures around some where. I have not had it at the track yet. I plan to this summer. I am in need of some drag radials and caltracs i think. The tires go up in smoke at all speeds. I got the carb pretty dialed in so there is no bog whatsoever. It really is pretty retarded on the street. Its just instantly sideways the second you get into the throttle. It hits my 7600 rpm rev limiter pretty fast. Hehe.

That looks really slick in there. Fits like it was meant to be there! Great stuff.

That looks amazing. Nice work, real clean install.
