Yes.
But your seriously better off just beefing up the stock rear end. My second choice would be a Ford 9" They are cheaper to build up than a Chevy, and stronger

Re: full-size rearend on an s-10
the old one SHOULD hold up... One of my very good friends has a motor wiht 515 hp at the flywheel
in the stock 1994 rearend. It holds up great. and he even has slicks on it (though i wouldn't say you will have this luck too). Just run it and see how it goes.. If you rip out the gears buy new ones and a locker while your at it.

Re: full-size rearend on an s-10
I spoke to my mechanic / drag racer friend today, and he sayes that the most that you'll need is a Auburn Locker.
The way that he made it sound they make a complete drop in unit for your rear end. You might also want to run aftermarket axles. He also sayes that unless your running Big power, a stock rear end should easily hold up
