My dad bought the truck brand new in 1988. I was 3 years old and picked it out at the Chevy dealer. 9000 bucks new. I had it repainted victory red again and she looks and runs brand new again👍🏻.

Very cool story. So sorry for your loss though. I can’t imagine losing my father. He is and always will be my best friend and mentor. Post some pics. That is awesome that you kept it going. Very interested in your build.
I had a similar story. my Dad bought a 97 S10 Reg Cab, Short Bed with 4cyl and 5spd. he loved it and so did I. my dad and I and brother took summer trips in his old 78 chevy truck and camper shell and spent summers driving across country, fun times. well before he died he bought a brand new s10 and a couple months later passed away. so brother and I took his ttuck and did another cross country road trip with his ashes and finally stopped in Texas where he grew up and spread his ashes on top of a mountain he sId he always wanted to explore. I kept the truck for a while but then had to get rid since I had no space to store and nobody wanted another vehicle. I kick myself often, wishi g I found a way to hang on to that thing! we both likes muscle cars and talked about building a car together. I think the s10 would have been a fun LS swap or SBC swap project.
I got a 1984 s10 2wd blazer with a 1968 SBC Corvette engine built to a 408ci stroker engine built by Redline performance in maine. It's got the 200r4 monster transmission in it with the performance build. Trac bars, 373 rear gears, B&M MEGASHIFTER, Performer RPM intake, Holley 650cfm carb. Rated for 1000hp. Aluminum driveshaft, digital dash, to much to list. Love your ride.👍
I can't wait to get mine going 👀 so jealous, I got a 84 with a pile of unwanted parts and pieces..lol 5speed nv3500 that will blow up first 1 2 shift and a Mexican block that I got for 200$ lolol I need about 800$ in parts and some sunshine
I just bought an 84 s15 jimmy with a 350. It needs a lot of work but this is my favorite car in the world. Hopefully I can get it race ready by next summer
An old friend of mine priced his 350 with a 400 auto 1st gen s10 for 3500 to me. It's a very clean truck, and it runs great. I would have to sell mine 1st to have the cash.
sounds good! love how it fired up! nice snappy throttle response, and seems to have really good power! how is it hooking up? what stall and gears are you running? I would love to have your setup for my 96 chevy RCSB truck. whats the engine specs and tranny?
Thanks I appreciate that. At the time of the video being made it had a 7.625 rear end out of a Camaro. A little 10 bolt. If I remember correctly it was 3.43 gears. Since then I have upgraded to a Quick Performance Ford 9 inch with 35 spline axles and 4.11 gears. I also went with Calvert Racing Caltracs and the split mono leaf spring. The trans is a brand new TCI reverse shift pattern and a trans brake with a Jegs 3500 stall. The motor I’ve had for about 25 years. It’s a 350 that’s been bored to a 355. It came out of a 70 Caprice. It’s been rebuilt 3 times. Nothing really major. A little head work dome pistons big cam and big carb. It’s been an ongoing project for about 6 years now. These parts are getting really expensive……. Lol.
@@manueldeleon5919 I Thought back in 1999 when I Owned two Z-28's. One a White 1983 with a 305CID 5.0L and a 350 Transmission. The other a Black 1984 with a 305CID 5.0L with a 700R4 Transmission. I got a 350CID 5.7 from my Cousin Kurt just the block and a engine stand. Anyways I thought about putting the 305 heads on the 350 block because I'd figure It would be more compression. To this day I still don't know if that would work? And never seen anyone else do what I had just explained. I ended up selling the 700R4 Transmission to Steve a kid I knew that had a 1991 TransAm 350 for $100 dollars. Used the 1984 for parts and drove the 1983 Z-28. I rebuilt the engine but could never figure out how to adjust the values for the Rocker's. Sold that car in 2001 for a few hundred dollars.
I gotta 83 S10 with 383 inWorking on the braking system right now installing vacuum boosterBecause the regular breaks Master sounder just weren't cutting it
I did away with the booster because of my headers. They are Hooker fenderwell exit. They were to close to the booster so I tossed it for manual brakes.
@@manueldeleon5919 is it a hard swap to manual brakes? I have an 89 s10 waiting on motor and was told it won’t work well with power breaks. Also, I’ve heard many different things about the manual valve body, can you downshift while moving? Say you were in 3rd but had to slow down because someone turned, could you drop it back in 2nd regularly or should it be avoided?
I thought it would be cool but then knew i’d smoke the tired off on mine in like 2 days if i had that much control over the power in such a light truck
Currently has a 7.625 Camaro rear end with 3.42 gears. But I just purchased a Quick Performance built Ford 9 in. 35 spline axles 4.11 gears with a spool.
I am building a really aggressive small block for a 92 s10 I am going with a th400 short shaft with a 3500 stall but you could go with a 700 r4 or 4L60e with sbc s10s your bigger problem is rear end when you starting getting into some horsepower Im going with a 8.8 out of a explorer with cal tracks
@@canadiantoque229 Just curious how aggressive your SBC is going to be? Will it be pump gas? My pump gas 399ci. N/A stroker is going to be an aggressive piece for the street.
he looked back like " r u ready for this?"🤣🤣
Sounds nasty. I love the old square body S10’s.

Pretty BA man! Reminds me of mine!
Love the build man, sounds TUFF! Your making me eager to get my Malibu back on the streets so that i can have some fun again 😤😂
It is fun. Regardless of what a lot of haters say about old school naturally aspirated motors, it’s plenty to keep me happy.

Like that gauge panel you made.

Good streetable power I like it
BY FAR not the fastest S10 but very fun.
sick
Thanks buddy.
🤯😯
Just got 350 for my s10 I'm hyped
Yes sir. Lots of fun to drive.
I gotta 83 S10 with 383 inWorking on the braking system right now installing vacuum boosterBecause the regular breaks Master sounder just weren't cutting it
I'm going manual brakes and steering in my 94 Sonoma ext.cab.
I did away with the booster because of my headers. They are Hooker fenderwell exit. They were to close to the booster so I tossed it for manual brakes.
@@manueldeleon5919 The only headers I could find for 18* spread port were Headman fenderwell.

@@waynetessier3058 one more question, would the manual valve body hold up reliably for daily use? Or only weekend driver type builds
Nice. But why do I never see any 4 or 5 speed V8 S-10s? I have a 1987 S-10 with a 383 small block and a 4 speed.
I thought it would be cool but then knew i’d smoke the tired off on mine in like 2 days if i had that much control over the power in such a light truck
What kind of rear gear in it?
Currently has a 7.625 Camaro rear end with 3.42 gears. But I just purchased a Quick Performance built Ford 9 in. 35 spline axles 4.11 gears with a spool.
@@manueldeleon5919 I have the same in mine with 3.55.
What transmission use for this??
I am building a really aggressive small block for a 92 s10 I am going with a th400 short shaft with a 3500 stall but you could go with a 700 r4 or 4L60e with sbc s10s your bigger problem is rear end when you starting getting into some horsepower Im going with a 8.8 out of a explorer with cal tracks
It had an old th350 but it was tired and worn so I purchased a TCI street fighter with a trans brake with a Jegs 3500 stall.
@@canadiantoque229 Just curious how aggressive your SBC is going to be? Will it be pump gas? My pump gas 399ci. N/A stroker is going to be an aggressive piece for the street.
@@waynetessier3058 hopefully pretty aggressive…… lol. It has 12:1 compression so its not real pump gas friendly. I use VP racing fuel 110 octane fuel.
