Don't have the funds for the turbo, fuel system to support it, blow through carb, clutch capable of holding the power, the Trans was sold and a stock one given to me for exchange.
So, the more I think about it, the more I want to go ahead and sacrifice the 1994 gmc 4.8 liter for this with the edelbrock 2215 cam. Just seems like the way to go. But the 6 liter would be a blast with the extra power. And I could beat up on other cars pretty easily. The thought of a mean *** truck is hard to resist....

I will sell you this 400 out of my S-10 after it is rebuilt. I just want the cost of rebuild so I can get a turbo 350. Then you just flop a converter on it and go. unless you want a brake and manual valve body.. The shop I am taking it to said $375 for the rebuild for back to stock, and that should hold up to my racing the 5.3 with 150 nitrous. They will put a manual valve body in it if I bring it along, or a transbrake valve body. Whichever I want in it they will install it for free. But the cost of whichever valvebody is in addition to the $375

Just food for thought.
With the milder engine. I believe a NV3500 would work fine. You know the T56 is worth a good bit of money. Sell it use the funds on the mustang use a NV3500 on the truck with a 3.27 or 3.55 gear. The trans would be cheaper to replace if you broke it. also cheaper clutch and just as fun of a beater.
I did a S/10 with a 5.3 224TR camshaft NV3500 it was a fun truck that got great gas mileage and pulled very good to 6500. I ran a 3.42 gear with a torsen posi.
96-97 have the shifter a bit forward and the 98-04 have the shifter closer to the seat like the 4 cylinder with a straight up shifter.
DO NOT use the NV3500 with the slave cylinder under the starter as the ratios are junk. (90-95) 4.08 1st .87 5th

Thanks for the info, that will be great for future reference!
The t56 is going in. The 4.8 won't break it, I ran them stock behind cammed 6 liters and only had issues from stock rebuilds where worn parts were not replaced. Have a brand new clutch disc already as well.
This turd will need the 4.10s, and the double OD is the way.
