My s10

[Stancil1216]

Well i figured i post up my daily eater... i mean beater... it was a mostly stock s10 that i had done a few mods to it, but nothing hard core cause i wasn't looking to race it yet and i still haven't decided what kind of engine swap i will do in the future, but anyways...

truck ran good and had SOME.. i said some getty up for a 4 bangger... even though the engine knocked when you first start it and then it ticked after it was warmed up until...

It decided to sound like a paper shredder on steroids.... and surprisingly it still wanted to go... since i didn't find any decent swaps or v8 tranny's i picked up another block and started working...

looking good there boy, starting from the bottom up, that's how you do it

[civic gsr]

my dad has one like this but it has a 4cyl is weak u gotta wait like 2 mins for it to catch speed lol

[Stancil1216]

well mine wasnt that slow, with no PS or manual fan it did pretty well... before it started knocking i could keep up/beat a few hondas around town... for only weighing 2700lbs with me it scooted down the road just fine... day that the engine blew i got a ticket for doing 92 in a 65 and i was just cruzing along with a 03 cobalt ss... (speedo tops out at 85 lol)

on a rear sway bar, go to pull a part and look at ford explorers I think they have axle mounted sway bars that would probably work.

Just a thought

well i tried to fit a sway bar off a 89 ford ranger, it was a bolt on mount but i couldn't figure a way to mount the part to the frame cause everything was in the way...
