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.
I would put an old 4.3 Turbo in it out of a Cyclone
Or Maybe a newer Vortec V6

But hell the TVR inline 6 makes 390HP 310Ft/lb and gets 20-25MPG
And have you heard the awesomely deep rumble they have

No doubt on the TVR motor, but speaking strictly of things you can bolt into the S10...
The Syclone engine would be fuck-awesome, but can you even find one anymore? If you can, I bet you could buy two old trucks for what that engine would cost in a semi-complete form.

if you find one and it cheap its a POS
If you find one that runs its going to cost $900-1,200.


Oh Question one of you might know.
The ground wire? on the starter, not the power but the small one

Is GONE! so could that cause it to not start?
And does it have to be grounded to the Ignition circuit or can it just be ground to battery?

Stupid i know, but i dont fuck with starters, i just kick shit ^_^

You keep saying that, but where are you gonna get one of those things? It seems to me it would be difficult to locate, expensive, and parts would be a PITA, especially if you start wanting things like heads and cams.

He can find the Syclone motor itself, but the turbo and everything else would be another matter entirely.
