S10 Footbrake Build

Kent · 01-16-2016, 10:57 PM

I think I used a 28×12.5 et street which I think it's 9.7 or 10 wide without moving anything. I also used the stock rear with the gears welded and ran a best of 11.19 with those tires and rear with a 6.0 ls engine.

350ci on a budget, tons of parts around. heads are most important...

Kent how long did the rear end hold up w/ the 6.0? Did the 6.0 have any work done to it?
I was thinking a 6.0 with a cam would be good for 7.50-7.70. Don't want to put a cage in yet.

I would look for an 8.8 ford rear....junkyards are full of them and cheap...just a suggestion. Best of luck with your project, I am looking to do one very similar....please keep posting your progress
