    yeah the mighty mouse is in the frame now... i will try and get a pic posted up im in the process of making a set of headers for the truck. Its tough to get them to clear the frame since it didn't use one of the off the shelf s-10 350 kits
    i made my own i wanted the engine farther back to help with the traction issue i know i will have and so i could run a larger core rad. thanks for the kind words on the VW... the ext is a work in progress

    Well, that's awesome you aren't going with the typical 350 kit in an s-10... Are you making your own headers or is a shop doing it custom for you? What size you running on the VW? I am guessing fully built internals too... Either way, very nice work... Don't look like you took any short cuts on either vehicle.

    My dad and i have done all the work on the s-10 including building the 4 link the upper and lower controll arms all the engine mounting, the body drop everything. the vw is a 2.8VR6 P&P head with cat 262 cams, stock rods for now, je pistons and a t3/t4 60 trim 660cc injectors and a C2 motorsports tune. I want to build a 3.0VR but the old one needs to blow up fist pics to follow
