Re: Toying with the idea s10 project

IMO why not spend the extra $$ and get a LSX easy to stroke to close to 500ci, cast iron for big juice or big turbo. plenty of parts

cons expensive

but a cast iron 6.0.......................big potential and the bock can handle whatever you want unlike an aluminum block

Money! The LSX block in itself is expensive, not to mention the parts to build it. If I could do that, I would be ALL over it!! If I went that route, to be honest, I would get back into a car. They just work better and are more aerodynamic.

I'm not even sure I would want to go with a 6.0 just because the added weight on the front of the s10. I need as much weight back as possible. Ideally, I would go with an aluminum blocked something.....we will see. It's all just in my head at the moment!! The more videos and reading I do, the more I think my goals would be much more easily reached with the use of a Mustang.

yeah agree. a mustang is light and more aero than a s10. but the 6.0 weights marginally more than the 5.3. cubic inches are worth the added 60#

Yeah, they don't weigh that much more. It really just depends on what kind of money I have at that point. I think it will take more than a 5.3 to get the truck in the 5s anyway

i bought all my parts used. cuts the price in half or better. (except NOS solenoids and electronics)
