what do you think about putting a v8 in an s10?

cool?
bad?
gonna be quick as hell?

and if anyone can, give me some insight on this swap because im very tempted to do it with my S10

 

I had a few friends in high school who had that setup. Their S10s were super quick.

 

Two words... "Traction" + "Problems"

 

I read as "V10 S8" and I was thinking Audi S8.

 

Haha, I was thinking new BMW M engine a la S85/S65/S54/etc.

 

Traction is an issue. I had a guy put a Super-charged V8 in his S-10 but also weighed his bed down with a complete system+carpet, put a color matched camper on top and dropped the truck a couple inches. It was pretty nice and his traction was alot better than what it started when he first swapped it.

It was a beast of a mini-truck.

 

"S10" as in small Chevy pickup or Blazer like thing?

 

It will be like a modern day GMC Typhoon/Cyclone. Those trucks have the supercharged V6 from the Buick GNX. Slap the LS2 in it!

 

LMAO, I thought the exact same thing, then I read the first response about someone's highschool buddies doing it.... I'm like what is this? your buddies must've been either master techs or filthy rich. Lol!

 

i say drop some tubos in the SC300 and make it into a "Supra Killer"

 

My friend with an S10 Xtreme has been talking about doing this for the past 7 years now, he's never pulled it off though. Another option is to supercharge the V6
