I know your pain. I got my V8 s10 from my father. Who did the conversion about 7 or 8 years ago. and then it sat for the longest time. When i got it.It had a 305, nice motor lots of power that over heated and started acting up after doing some donuts with out the electric fan on! oops

Then i got a used 305 with 200,000 kms on it and it ran fine. Unitl the day i drive about 45 to get my deul exhaust made. on the return trip i lost alot of oil and seized the motor. Now i got a 350 built for me. Then 2 weeks later the tranny went on me. Then just reently the rear spider gears blew up on me. Now my truck is parked. Oh well come spring when i can start doing my frame swap it will be all good.

Sometime owning a veicle like a V8 s10 Isnt the easiest thing to do!
