FWD? why would anybody voluntarily MAKE an FWD truck........
Maybe leave the drivetrain thats in there and slap a 4G63 on it. If Buschur can do it , so can you....

Although he used a Powerglide tranny and a Ford 9" rear . It would be interesting to see a 7 - 8 second S-10 out there.....go for it.....
