Project Super 10

[dazedandconfused]

Well here is my new project I got gave to me. It's a 99 S10 extreme according to the title. The body was removed and the chasis was striped and painted. It had a 383 stroker set in it but another budy of mine purchased the engine. I still have to go pick up more parts to it that are in storage. Plans are to set it up to run 10.5 class rules. Plans are to run a hoped up Isuzu 4BD diesel and a 4l80E if it will hold.

Where do you get one of those engines?

Interesting...

[dazedandconfused]

Isuzu NPR trucks. I know where three are and I'm gonna try to get them all.

Sounds like Extreme is a going to be an understatement!

a 4l80E if it will hold.

In a truck with no weight what so ever it should last a loooonnnngg time,I'd be more concerned with keeping the rear end together if you get it to stick.

Yeah I never do anything ordinary. That's how I got my username. I tend to leave people a little dazedandconfused!

Rearend will be no problem I'm doing a trussed and narrowed 9" with a Spool and 35 Spline axles. It's got slapper bars on it now I'll run for a bit then change to a caltracs type bar to see how big of a difference. These guys claim to build a 4l80E to handle anything I could throw at it. I plan to do my own build since I have 2 gm master techs that build them to help.

I think that trans will need little to live behind your motor. Their fairly beefy trans,but I think they tend to shift stock. I'd just throw a shift kit,some decent clutches and a converter to match your motors rpm rang and call it good. Factory stall on their converters is high,like 16 or 1700rpms.
Sounds like it will be a tough little truck

[dazedandconfused]

I know cummins trucks were eating 4l80E's like candy from the companies I talked to that built them. They couldn't get them to live behind a 450hp Cummins.

[ellis93]

I don't think it'll be the same man. Their all in the big block chevy world and live quit well behind 6.0 gas 3/4 tons that work. Surely that little diesel won't make more torque than a blown 454 now you pump cummins torque thru any trans and it will eventually bite the big one

I'm gonna try the 4l80E and see how long till I break it. Anybody run Strange or Moser axle parts in a 9"? Which would you go with? Plans are 3.00 gear set, spool, and 33 spline axles right now. Should be easy to play with gearing in the 9". Time to see what I still have at the farm and what my uncle has laying around from his racing days.
