Default S/10 build

Just acquired a new project, 99 extended cab S10. Truck is hit in the rear, sweet running 4.3, trans works great and it has 4 factory alum wheels and nice tires. Selling all of these. Truck has 129000 miles and is really clean, interior is perfect, a back half and a bed is all it needs, and for $600 didn't think I could go wrong. I think my 6.0 twin turbo build is going in this. Anyone on here have a S10 build? Need some ideas, would like to get it as light as possible. Ought to make a real sweet street and strip build, plus body work will be very little and no rust!

Turbo s10's are tight. The general consensus is twins are a little easier. It just depends on if you want any accessories or not. I like PS, and A/C. I will have a single on mine this year.

I might after I get a start. I won't have a/c or p/s. I will also build a rad support to gain some room. Eliminate the inner fenders and I done figured twins. I'll get the chassis work done first and get it rolling.

im in the process now of building my turbo hot side. I have the 1st gen blazer. the problem im having is there not a lot room for the downpipe. I don't really want to go out the fender with it. if I can snake it some how behind the front tire and back under the frame like I saw someone do that might be the best way for me.
