Gas?

[chris-350]

SAVE THE EARTH!!! stick a hybrid in it.

[Jimmybeam]

Damn, they make hybrid sbc\'s now? I gotta check into that http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[s10maniac24]

actually GMCs got a \"hybrid\" truck now. kicks in when it idles.

[s10camaro_ho]

Stick a 350 in there chris.



The silverado hybrid. 5.3 . The hybrid system comes on below 13 mph. It saves 10% in fuel economy. Which means you can push 10% more than before and get the same gas milage yeah. Unfortunatly the hybrid system turns it self off when in four wheel drive. That kinda sucks.

I HAVE A 350 IN MY CURRENT S10(OL\'RED). THE NEW ONE I\'M THINKING ABOUT A BIG BLOCK IN, BUT NOT ALL TRACK, I NEED TO DRIVE IT ON THE STREET TOO!

[BrandOmatic]

well another 350 truck might be a bit boring for you then huh?



always depends on how much cash you got to blow... but definitely take a step up the ladder.. a big block would be sweet.. 383\'s are really swell, 406\'s are also nice.



maybe do some research and build something that hasn\'t been built a zillion times already like 355\'s have.. i built a 357 just to be different, but woopity doo it\'s not that different lol.



i liked the idea that was being thrown around a few days ago... a 454 small block.. hellz yeah. all the cubes of the big boy, small block weight factor.

[ZR1BLAZER]

a 454 small block? to stroke it that much i think you would need a custom block. but a freind of mine did get his 97 lt1 stroked to a 396 with the stock heads and no computer work and ran a 10.60! so a good carbed 396 stroker should put the smack down pretty good.

[wild85]

I like the fact that I am building a 385 not just a 383.

[ZR1BLAZER]

squeeze just that much more out of it. every little bit helps.

[wild85]

doing a 396 stroker would cost big money wouldn\'t it, special crank and special pistons.

[wild85]

maybe I will do the .040 with 3.835 stroke crank, i think it is like 392 or 393 or something.

[ZR1BLAZER]

they show it as a 391 stroker but you can get it to a 396 by a little more bore. this is for the old 2 peice rear main seal blocks. they have them for the 1 peice and in an all forged kit as well. these guys have been doing strokers for a long time.391 stroker kit (http://www.speedomotive.com/391%20MONSTER%20MOUSE%20CHEVY%20350%20STROKER%20KI T.htm)

[wild85]

that is where i looked actually, what is with the dished pistons though, who would want that low of compression. my block is .040.

[ZR1BLAZER]

still makes good power with 91 octane pump gas. iam sure you can get a different piston.

What do you want to spend? A 427 LS-1 would be nice. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

[86rx7fc3s]

do a built up ls1 with a t56 and nitrous.. and run 10s on your way to the grocery store

[chris-350]

My budget isn\'t the problem, but my truck won\'t be done for a while, since i don\'t have time. so i want to go big and still keep it street legal. thanks for the info its been help please keep posting!

[ZR1BLAZER]

What do you want to spend? A 427 LS-1 would be nice.

well if the budget is no problem then i agree with fastbikesrule. i am going to find a car with the 427 and post it for ya. that s10 will dominate the street and more then 3/4 of the race track.

[ZR1BLAZER]

check this out i am sure if you look around some more you can find some more info on it.427 camaro (http://chevyhiperformance.com/featuredvehicles/148_0310_sun/)

[mr_will]
