Anybody else read Car Craft? In the March '11 issue they introduce a new project and it's an S10 that's getting a budget V8 swap w/ used TPI parts and total suspension redo. Shooting for around 300hp and road course handling. Should be a fun ride when finished.

"TPI" and "Roadcourse" is kind of an oxymoron. Laughing

Just saying.

Maybe it's a really short roadcourse. Very Happy

With short straightaways.

I was a subscriber for 20 years and let the subscrition end a couple years ago. They decided to stick with carbs and old iron. No big deal but when did the last performance roll off the assembly line with a carb?

Saw that article. Was wondering why they went with TPI when they have always bashed it. Rolling Eyes

Actually, I think you're just doing a burn out contest, right? Seriously though, you're going to trash the rear axle if you keep abusing it like that. Every time I see a picture of your car you have smoke rolling off that poor tire. Laughing

Still, that article got the juices flowing...

I don't know about roadcourse+TPIV8+S-10. But it would make a heck of a cool parts getter/ Street machine. Im considering adding a couple cylinders to my S-10 with fuel injection Cool

Ehh... I talk smack about the S10's not being a road course vehicle, but they have the same Malibu suspension as the F-body, they weigh about a half ton less, and they're stiffer. Shrug

Fbody's used a nova suspension, not the bu's. But you're right.. the s10 uses a metric version of the chevelle front suspension.

All part of Chevy's "whatever we got on the shelf" plan. Laughing
