Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Rick, if you or Smedley can find us a couple of Turbo 301 blocks, that would be great.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
I have some used items that are just collecting dust, and might be useful:
-5 gallon fuel cell -Hurst Quarter-Master shifter- 3 speed- I think it has a forward pattern -15 X 4 front wheels with 4 3/4" bolt pattern- there are tires on them, but they are old and dry. They look like Weld Draglites, with the small holes around the circumference. -4:88 ring & pinion for 12-bolt Chev, if you go with a12-bolt- 100+ runs -9 X 30 Hoosier radial slicks with a full season's runs -One 200M transmission core for BOP. -I may have 3 or more Schubeck lifters left from a Pontiac 400 that exploded- need to be closely inspected. Would also consider lending a full set of wheels and tires for a month or so. All are free if used for the cause. I travel to central PA at least once every month, so delivery is an option.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Bob, Bob, Rick and Tony, I appreciate the offers but I am going to try and stick to my plan of "diming" it together myself to see if it can be done.
I spent the day in the shop taking apart the rear and pulling out the power brakes to change it over. As there aren't very many manual brake S-10s laying around anymore, I'm making up a few pieces to convert the GP. Hopefully tomorrow I'll take some pics of what's needed to SAFELY do the job. I scored a good used 4.56 gearset and a 2 series posi unit with spacer for $100 bucks so that should pretty well get this thing rolling. Now I know that it's not the optimal thing to use but the price is right and it's only going to (hopefully) be a high 14 second car that doesn't weigh a whole lot so maybe it'll live a while. I got a pair of 15X 8 wagon wheels and a pair of 15x 4 sparetire wheels out of the wheel pile at a local salvage yard(they don't like to be called junk yards anymore). I have an old set of 8.5x 26 M/T slicks that I won't use again and dragged home a pair of 26" tall M/T fronts from along side of the M/T trailer a couple of years ago so, after buying a can of black paint, I'm set with wheels and tires for $35. As it's snowing like crazy outside, I'm hoping to get a fair amount done in the next couple of days.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Well, I'm trying to post some pics but the program that the pics are on doesn't like the Class Racer program. I'll try and sort this out and get back to posting.
