We picked up a stock 350 out of truck with 150000 miles on it for 200
Made 205hp stock,probably makes 100hp now

One of the reasons we went with the S10 chassis is they have sbc conversion kits so they'll bolt right in (kinda)

It was nice that the S10 had metal inner fender wells,I just had to extend them into the fenders a little

We took the body off the frame,disassembled everything,sprayed gator guard all under the body and epoxy primer on everything else

With the body off the frame it was way easy to run air,fuel,brake lines,exhaust and replace all the suspension parts

When I put the front shocks on the tires hit and I had no turning radius so I split a piece of 4" steel pipe so I could make a channel in the frame
