Which weighs less?
Which weighs less? Which weighs less, a 85 s-10 or 88 mustang? Both with same engine and trans. Both vehicles stock besides the swap. Which will weigh less with gutted interior? Thanks.

If your deciding on the two for an LS swap, go with the Fox, im doing a 95 s10 myself and i kick myself in the *** everyday wishing i woulda done the fox, more engine bay room, cheaper header options, k member that makes it alot easier, better rear suspension, and i would def say lighter... Wish i wasnt this far into the s10 otherwise i would have sold it for a fox... Just my opinion for you....

Verdad Gallardo I'm looking at a fox body and a s-10 both all ready have sbc 350 and turbo 350 installed. I thought I would run the sbc this season and do the ls1 swap next winter. Would it be a head start if it already is 350?
I dont see how it would be a head start. Especially if you intend to use the LS1 with EFI, cause you would still need to redo the fuel system, and all the wiring for the PCM. IF you plan to carb the LS1, than maybe its a head start, but arent the mounts different?
and regarless of weight, the fox is going to hook 1,000,000 times better than any truck. You are gonna have to add weight to the back of the truck to get it to hook at all, or remove a ton from the front.
You can get the sbc mount adapters and just use them on the LS motor. It's easy.
race seats in it 7 gallons of fuel motor and th400 trans big driveshaft with 1350 u joints for 9in. weld wheels stock brakes and drums on the rear no a/c it didn't come with it but am considering adding it stock steering gear box ummm factory dash that I cut the front out of and added a aluminum dash panel with guages Glass in all window's no cage yet it's coming ummmm harwood lift off hood 6in. roll pan in back factory bumper up front soon to be fiberglass with a carb'd LS1 and full exhaust with 20in. long mufflers.

Good info!
[QUOTE=s10-den;12942250]so what does it take to make an S10 hook i'm having some issues right now with mine. I had bad shocks come to find out but the new ones are here now will install them tomorrow and back to the track this weekend. Oh and I removed the 2 lower leaf springs so hopefully it will do better
