Now a smallblock V8 or larger V6 in that thing would be kickass.
It'd make a nice sleeper. Although you'd have to add a few hundred pounds of something (bags of sand... bolted in railroad iron...) to the ass end to keep traction when you get on the gas.
My dad had a 70's Datsun pickup into which he dropped a Buick V6.
He finally had to part with it because it kept getting him in trouble.  |
V8 S10s suck from a dig when drag racing. Where they kick ass is about a 30mph+ roll to roughly 120mph. One buddy of mine who got me into them had a 6speed 350 zz4 crate pumping about 450hp. It was a 92 S10 with a small cowl induction hood and corvette rallies. Looked like an old man truck really, and no clue it was fast.
Anyways the funniest story about his drag racing was he saw some kids looking at a WS6 firebird when they first came out. This guy is in his late 40s and all grey hair. He stopped and talked to the guys some and he is a master shit talker too. He asked them if it's fast and the one guy responds "Fuck yeah it's fast". He then asked if they thought it could keep up with the S10. They laughed and he said he felt he could beat them with that truck and start in 2nd gear (That was a trick cause 1st gear was useless). Even had one guy ride in his truck and put it into 2nd gear.
Well they took off and the WS6 took off. He said to the guy who was now busting out laughing "Hang on to your tutu" and it got up in the RPMs the truck just peeled back. The guy's jaw dropped and he blew by the WS6 like it wasn't even there. The guy got out of the truck and didn't say a word.
I was with him when we raced a Viper. We smoked it to about 120mph and then the aerodynamics kicked in. The guy at that point stuck his arm out the window and waved him on. Said he wasn't going to give the guy the satisfaction of thinking he could beat him int he 100s.
GMC Syclones are fucking badass too. And I love the Buick Grand Nationals. No one expects those to be fast.
