95 s10 ls1 build i have had this s10 for about two years now, i bought it with an lt1 in it and it ran really good, it was fast enough for me in the beginning, however, after crapping out on me twice in 3 months, i have now decided to give this nice truck an update:
i bought a 5.3l and bored it to an ls1 to stab in there and here is the build so far:
forged rods
forged pistons
ls7 lifters
torquer v2 cam on a 112lsa
texas speed 7.4 pushrods
ls2 heads with procomp dual springs
new timing set
ported oil pump
new main and rod bearings
ported and polished tb
nitro dave's 50-150 wet kit
transmission will be the 4l60e that came with the motor
full manual valve body shift kit
z pack clutches
and ill be moving the column shifter to a rachet floor shifter
also bought an eaton worm gear type locker for my 9in so no more 1 tire fire!
ill be posting pics of my progress soon, enjoy!

I had that same truck (well 1999 Somona) the day I brought it home I opened the hood and said "it needs a v8"
If I still had that truck today it would have a ls based engine in it.
Good luck with the build!

Very little "clearancing" on the pinch weld seam at the front of the trans tunnel. Like bee minor . I may have a picture I can post when I get home...
And had to do a custom driveshaft and crossmember. But I highly reccommend it. The trans is awesome.

heres the best one i have.. it wasnt much just hammered the pinch seam with a hammer, you can barely tell anything was changed...
my truck weighed 3710 with me in it, hard toneau, power mirrors/windows etc, 6.0/4l80e/12 bolt and with a bone stock converter and 3.42s it went 13.20@106 with 1.90 60', and with the same bone stock converter, 3.73's and a 150 wet nitrous kit it went 11.57 @ 116. with a 1.70 60'.
now its got a TC-78 turbo, ls6 cam, 73lb/hr injectors, 3500 stall, and hoping for 10.99 on pump....

when i ran last year i just had a stock ZQ8 "traction shock" setup... the third shock parallel to the frame on the passenger side... i welded the bracket from the stock rear to the 12 bolt and reused this setup, it worked excellent for anti-hop, but with regular shocks and no cal-tracs it allowed the truck to squat too much.. it literally bottomed out on the bump stops when i launched with nitrous.
(truck also has a 1" lowering block)
i will be running cal-tracs and a good set of adjustable shocks this year tho hoping to 60' in the 1.5X-1.6X range with no trans brake and only the 3500 stall..hoping to launch with 2-3 psi boost footbraking...who knows
this was last year stock rear suspension..
