Its a Olds 442 rear narrowed to fit an S-10. I already had a 9" ford and in the process of stripping the brackets and having it narrowed when I found this one($400). Because my emphasis will be on handling and cruzing I decided to go with the adjustable G-body suspension set up. The only thing I'm cocerned with is wheel hop.

I hope to soon post a complete parts/cost breakdown of the back half modifications.

thanx, ed

WOW! That is some Fantastic Craftsmanship!!! Very Impressive!!!

I am looking to do the same with my Sunbird a couple years down the road. I look forward to reading your breakdown when you have it posted. Great Job & Very Nice Work!

Thanks for the praise. I haven't had time to itemize everything for the back half but I will tell you it cost more and took way more time than expected but I am pleased with the outcome. I still have reservations as to how well it will handle 450hp. Rough estimate for wheels, tires, rear, tubing and sheet metal, suspension parts would be around $1800. I wish I would have kept track of my time but I have no idea on that possibly 100 hours. I did add a couple pictures. thanx again, ed

NICE work. wish I could build one

{}Thanx vegavairbob, my apology for being slow getting back to you, didnt realize i had a message. This project slowed to a crawl a year ago, just now getting back into it as well as visiting the board more which is helping me get back into it! I'm going to post a picture of my split bumpers and ask for opinions on looks before welding and re-chroming.
