There are all kinds of kits out there to put a small block V8 or straight 6cyl in place of the little 4cyl if you need more power ! Although GMPP has all kinds of Performance Parts for these 4 cylinders now several racing series are running these engines and doing quite well. Axles are another story, I haven't done the research but I'm sure you could use full size axles and find narrowing kits that are for this kind of rig. I have a buddy who has a shop and he put a 383 cid small block V8 in his S-10 and it did great till it tore the little 3.43 gears out of the rear, because of all the power and 33inch x 12.50 wide tires on corvette wheels (LOL) !!! Depending on what you want to spend you can have a lot of fun with stock parts, and if you look on Craig's List you find a lot of these trucks for sale cheap, and parts. Post some photos when you start swaping parts , build thread are always cool to read through ! </p> http://forums.4x4.com/topic/s10-project#post-61 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:20:13 +0000 blackfang 61@http://forums.4x4.com/ <p>hi there,</p> <p>I own a 2000 checy s10 and decided I want to do a little customizing to it. With the combination of my complete lack of experience and not seeing too many hardcore off road s10's, I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions? I realize that it isn't much to work with (2.2 L and 4x2) but I gotta start somewhere right? Any and all comments are welcome, from lifts to engine swaps to tires etc. I just thought it would be a good idea to hear what someone with a little more experience had to say. Keep in mind I am a college student so funds are slightly limited. </p>
