nice build. iam about to start my 3 rd build picked up a 88 with 22re for 400. has a really big hole in the side of the block. i have a 22r fully rebuilt out of my 86 that i did the cummins diesel 4bt custom twin turbos swap on. i am thinking of punting the 4.3 out of my 98 s10. i have all ready rebuilt 4.3 bored out 20 over mild cam. holly intake with mutl point fuel injected. (instead of the crappy spider injectors for the factory) also doing a 3.5 inch body lift and 2.5 suspension lift

Thanks, the 4.3 V6 sounds great, with the 20 over and MPFI, should have a lot of power. best of luck...

Indeed that would be a sight to see.
werent some of those chevy cyclones supercharged?
If somebody were lucky enough to swipe an engine out of one of those it would be sick!

i have a 66mm turbo charger i can put on the 4.3. tune it to around 7 to 9 pounds of boost would work great. if i do it i will have to put a set of arp head studs in. my cummins in my 86 i run around 45 pounds of boost wide open. i need to get a camera so i can put pics on hear

Seat looks comfy. Are you talking about the Stablizer bar ( if that is what it is called) or the extention? My 79 has the same thing as it is a solid axle. I am not sure if it is needed, but on a solid axle, there really is much help holding it solid except for the springs.
Not my strongest area but thought I would try and give my 2 cents. Also get you bumped to the top of the list so someone else may give you a better answer.
