First 1/4 time
 

Well I had the first 1/4 mile time in the s10 w/ 350.
60ft-1.76
1/8-7.67
1/4-12.34

I don't know where it lost its power. but it didn't seem to want to pull at the top end. Do these numbers seem about right? I am hoping a bow tie owner will jump in and let me know.

1/8th and 1/4 seem to be in line. What did it trap in the 1/8th and 1/4? 60' time? Nice run, Chris.

12.34
Thanks.... we are boring it out a little more this month and new pistons and some cam work. I am going to run it again next month. Hoping to atleast hit 11's

Not bad for a V-8 Chevy. Never pictured you driving a bow tie.

Trap speed.

S-10 truck
 

Morey, the cost to build a S-10 is 2/3'rds of what it would cost to build a ranger.
Plus the swap has more aftermarket parts available to do it cheap.

With a chevy you can use a 350 block as well as a 400 block & everything bolts up.

The cost to build a 415" chevy is half compared to build a 408" windsor.
If costs don't matter the 408-427" windsor is a bad dude. Bill

Anybody out there has a S-10 with a small block for sale PM me. Bill

Re: S-10 truck
 

I agree..... the small block community up here is big and parts are cheap and a dime a dozen. My neighbor sold me the engine and I got the truck for $2500. That already had the cage in it and it rolled. It was the neighbors budy. So they help out alot with it. I just get them the paint they need and help them paint the vehicles from the garage. Its a trade for a trade. They said it was running ok but it should be faster. So we are going to tinker with it and see what happens. Like I said not to much has been invested so I really don't care about what happens to it. Its just fun to do and its rare to do around here. I tried the oval dirt track and completely devoured the camaro on it. Wont do that again unless I am in a tank. They also were putting alot more power out than I was so it was crazy being passed a few times and my body was sore the next day..... from hitting the rail and other cars. A big demo derby is all it was and I lost. The truck is fun though. Get the engine right then I will worry about the appearance. But it is deffinately cheaper than the lightning.... hince the wife doesnt scream anymore when I buy parts for it.

what was your trap speed? my car went 7.6 and went 11.7 at the top end. but it trapped 118 in the top. but that was in a car with top end pull, you have a truck that i assume is mostly low end power.

95mph. It jumped off quick all three times but nothing on top

:?

you trapped 95 in the 1/8? what was the 1/4? sounds weird because on my 11.7 pass i trapped 94 in the 1/8.

could not figure out how to delete the post.

same problem.

I have a 89 s10 with a 350. the motor has good heads and a good size cam. im not sure what cam it has. i bought it the way it is. it went 7.6 at 93 and 11.7 at 114. i got a little carless with it. it has a rod knock now.
it weighs just under 3000 with me in it. the 1/4 time on yours is off a little
but i could help you with it. old school carbs and no computer is what im good at. what kind fuel pump does it have. could be running out of fuel on top end.

The time slips here do not give the mph. I am going off of what Rob's computer said I finished at. I crossed the line at 96mph. I was faster than that in the middle but AK is wierd and I don't know how fast it went.
