Default 1991 rcsb s10 v8 swap

Well, I've been missing my drag car ever since i sold it so now i am back to building another race vehicle. Picked up a 1991 S10 RCSB for Zero Dollars. Body is straight as a string and only has surface rust. I will be doing a frame off build with a 4 link setup in the rear and all tubular control arms; and front and rear motor plates. I'm figuring the build will take most of a year since i will be paying for it as i go. Powertrain will be a 360 Ci SBC with a set of world product heads on alcohol, with a Jim Cimarolli built TH350. I will add my parts list to the thread as they arrive at my front door. Any constructive criticism is appreciated as the thread goes on!

Looks like fun. I've still got my old blower motor sitting in my shop waiting for the right project. I'm guessing it'll be an all motor build?

For now yes it will be. The 360 will be my suspension tuning motor and I will also start on a 434 shortly with a little juice on it when she's complete.

The cam is a little less than 550 lift on a 99 lobe Sep and it will have right at 14:1 compression.
