Jeez, musta been one helluva kit...a V8 would twist the average gen 2 cavi in half!
Lunatik: Any conversion'll work. It just depends on how fat ya wallet is and how determined ya are to make it work.
Shortcuts are good things sometimes, tho.
The S10 is already an RWD vehicle with a full frame. Just drop the cavy body on a 2WD pickup chassis and lower the S10 suspension.
V8's fit right in the S10's rails.
