If you keep your eyes open deals are out there,I bought one 2 years ago,for $100 with dead 4 cyl. and stick

There are a ton of the S10's and Isuzu Hombre trucks out there (same truck, different badging) You can find one with a blown up engine super cheap too.

My neighbor at my shop has an auto repair business and he has an s10 with a 350 in it. Little thing scoots pretty well, and you can get every piece you need to build one in kit form.

I been drag racing 15 years,lots of pump gas 350 s-10 at the track running in the high11's. My thought is take off another 500 pounds,front clip,bumpers,part or all of the box,it would then run low 11's,warm that 350 up a little and you are running 10's really cheap,would look like dragsters did in the early 50's real ugly but fast,with alittle ingenuity I think you could make it look cool

How do they get them to hook? Even my Jeep truck with a mild 5.0 can go up in smoke if I don't soft pedal it off the line.

I know I see these S10's running good times, so they must have a way to do it aside from slicks.
