I've raced dirt track cars since '93, and just traded for an 85 S-10 Stock Car with no engine. I'm limited to a 6 cyl., can be any size straight or v-6. I'm looking for an '85-86 carbed 4.3, cuz we have to run a manual fuel pump with no fuel inj. Having trouble finding one. Any other suggestions? Anyone have any suggestions for a good radiator? I use afco brand aluminum ones in my cars, but are way too wide for the S-10. The cars I'll be running against have "stock" v-8's, but racers like to bend the rules. They must weigh 3400 lbs. with driver. My truck will be allowed to weigh 200-300 lbs less, they haven't decided yet. Suspension is lowered 3 inches, with Afco Racing Springs. Rear springs look stock but have Afco stickers on them. How much weight do you think I'll have to add, I weigh 200 lbs? Glass and interior are removed, but all the roll bar tubing shoud bring the weight back close to stock. I'm in uncharted territory and will be the only S-10 racing with about 25 cars. Any help would be appreciated.
I'll have a pic of it soon that I'll post.
