budget ls2 s10 conversion

What's your planned budget?

Looks pretty clean. Needs to get out of the sky though .

I dont have a budget number in mind...I will spend enough to make it a dependable street truck, or i wont have it. i'm just planning on finding as many used parts as possible. nothing crazy. i went with a smaller cam than planned so i dont have to pull the heads and replace gaskets/bolts while flycutting the pistons. i also picked it up at a used cam price instead of going with a new custom grind like i wanted to. i'm going with carb over EFI because the cost of staying EFI with this build is crazy. the vic jr is also a better inake than the truck manifolds that i have laying around. also the vic jr intake should distribute nitrous better with a plate instead of an efi style intake. tuning a carb is also easier than EFI and i will be less dependant on needing a sooper tooner to keep my truck in check. from what i've seen the carb style intakes swallow cams that EFI has issues with. the transmission will most likely just be a stock 4l80e on a shift kit. sticking with stock heads, sticking with stock rod bolts...maybe someday i'll throw on some afr heads and super vic but for now i dont want to go crazy with it like i did with the silverado.

I agree on getting it out of the sky, but at this point of the build i just want to spend my money getting the drivetrain in and running. the cosmetic stuff will come later.

The first truck I ever had with my name on the title was very similar. Only crap black paint, and powered by a 4.3w/5speed. I wish I could get that truck back and do a similar swap, but its long gone. Good luck and I will for sure be watching out for this one.

This reminds me of my 350 powered 84 S10 blazer i had 7 yrs ago. It was fun as hell. This is going to be a awsome build.

Wow, that's gonna be a fun little truck! An S10 will be my next project truck. I'd like to get a little Xtreme stepside and jam an LS2 or LS3 in it with a T56.
