Thank you for the comments. It was/is a really fun project.

fyrffytr1 - I would think that you could hook up an external fuel pump with a gas tank and it would run.

There are a lot of guys who use the V6 from the S10, and many use LS motors, but I am not comfortable with computers, sensors, EFI,... and all the electronics that go along with a 'computer' controlled engine. (I guess that makes me 'old school'). The only reason I went with an electric fuel pump was because the mechanical fuel pump would not fit.

The S10 is a great chassis to work with cause you have the benefits of the upper and lower A arm suspension, simple and effective steering components with a steering box, front and rear disc brakes , and the parts are plentiful and cheap.

If your project was mine?, I would put a carb on that V6 (or on a Pontiac V8, or a OHC 6 would be cool also). put a new gas tank between the rear frame rails, and install a new wiring harness for the complete vehicle.

I hope I have answered your question, and given you something to think about with your 39 project.

Feel free to PM me.


Happy New Year
