S10 Footbrake Build

With slicks the 7.5 rear will break, and it's not worth putting a penny into it. An 8.8Ford is a good choice and will stand anything you throw at it, but you will still have a C clip type axle and need C clip eliminators.
Turbo 350's are very available and need little money or mods to be good for what you're doing. I'd put a Transgo full manual kit in it and a hardened race for the intermediate sprag and you're good to go.
