this the blueball striptease of the whole project. i used to have a frame up resto'd '88 2wd and last year i wasnt home and my dad started torching it for scrap, i come home and its cut in half. i was ------ pissed, and i couldn't find a trans for it, so it was sitting until i did.

If you want to scrap the idea of a yota, theres an S10 down the road here for sale for $900, im sure its probably got a v8 in it, flat black looks nice.

This was my plan a while back, but Jeff talked me out of it. He told me to "buy a real truck". I've owned a couple 2wd Toyotas and I loved them both.

I know a guy who did a stroker 385 swap into his S10. Ran 12's all day long...

On the otherhand, it's nice seeing other Toyota owners wanting to boost..

then it wasnt built/setup properly. if it was built properly it could be one of the best cars ever. if it was just swapped in and drove away of course its gonna ride and drive like ----. its like putting a v8 in a honda(though its highly unlikely without proper mechanics and physics) and driving off. what do you think its gonna do? drives like ---- and rides like complete ***.
