This truck belongs to my partner in crime. This guy had a helping hand in my 383 stroker el Camino, and was crucial in getting my 355 down to earth. He's been collecting parts and saving his pennies to turn his pretty clean, but boring S-10:

That stock EFI will be swapped over to a Demon 750 carb setup on a GMPP single plane intake after the stock block and rotating assembly is freshened up with parts from ARP, Clevite, and Speed Pro. We hope to use the stock coil packs with MSD's timing module, designed specifically for carb'd Gen III small blocks. Incidentally, the stock throttle body, intake, exhaust manifolds, and lots of other stock parts are for sale, send me a pm if you're interested.
This will spin a 6 Speed T56 that we are currently rebuilding:

There's lots of other stuff planned, including a triangulated 4-link out back, sprung with QA1 adjustable coilovers, beefed up 10-bolt, a healthy static drop, and upgraded brakes all around.
Now that we have the engine and tranny, and parts are arriving daily, we should make very quick progress. We are rebuilding the engine this weekend if our schedules work out, and hope to have the truck running and carving corners by the end of the summer.
