My V8 S-10 (lots and lots of pics)
Hello! Im a newbie here and figured I would show off my S-10. Let me know what you guys think!
The above pictures are when it had a 355 in it. This winter I tore it all apart and put a 406 together for it. Havent drove it yet, but I hope I didnt tear apart a perfectly good running truck for nothing! I hope the 406 is a noticeable difference. I have had plenty of 350's, but this is my first experience with a 400.
5.7 Rods
Out with the 355:
406 sat in:
Back on its wheels. I put a billet grill in it, but I think Im going to have to paint it black. The aluminum radiator dominates it!

Very nicely done......406 even nicer! I love the black paint and stance you gave it. Its not over done or to busy which some people do. The billet grill works perfect with the package,it off sets the black nice. But yes the rad is over powering. You could paint the rad black to hide it but that might work against the cooling system. Maybe a loovered piece of black tin between the grill and rad might work,just a quick thought? Where did the rims come from,they sure look good? These trucks tubbed are very cool,any thoughts of that in the future?
