The "blue" truck is a 1998 Chevy S-10 ZR2 that was done by a guy that I know. He is an Advanced Vehicle Engineer for GM. He had it featured in a 4x4 magazine when it was black, had the full size front end conversion, a 4L80E trans, corvette seats, corvette stearing wheel, and had a "regular" vette motor in it. Then he was selected to go on the Ultimate Adventure trip put on by Peterson's 4WHEEL & OFF-ROAD. So he tore the whole thing apart a month before the trip, repainted it, put on a set of custom cut out flairs that he designed (the rules for the trip state that he needed 35's so he did the flairs to let the tires clear with his 5" BDS suspension lift), put in a roll cage, put moser shafts in the back axle, stuffed the diff's with the new eaton e-lockers, and stuck in the 427! The specs on the engine are: 427ci LS1 Engine, GM C5R block, 4.125 inch bore, BRC 11:1 pistons, Lunati 4-inch stroke crank, CNC ported ZO6 cylinder heads, GMPP Hot Cam, ZO6 intake, custom oil pan, custom headers, full 3 inch exhaust, and a complete Aeromotive fuel system. I am not sure what is next but he says that he has more stuff waiting to go in to add at least another 60hp to it.

And if you like diesels I got another one for you. My one friend who did the lift on my truck is currently doing a full four link solid axle set up on his S-10 with a Cummins swap. He is using a 2001 engine with a 98 mechanical pump setup (instead of the electrical). It is backed up by a Silverado Allison trans. As for the transfer case he is still working on that but it will probably be a dual NP205 set up. Anyways he still has more of the frame to replace and the suspension to design but the engine is getting closer to fitting in there with a custom core support and she should be running again by spring.





Oh and before anyone says it, I ain't full of crap... the rigs exist. The owner of the blue one isn't a close friend of mine but I do talk to him when I need help with my truck. The detailed info that I have about it though is from the bio. that he gave in the Magazine. As for the black truck, he is a good friend and you will be seeing it in a magazine eventually but until then you have to rely on me for info.... lol
