Thanks. I haven't been on s10v8 in quite some time, thanks for reminding me of that site!

Anyone know anything about the AFX spindles? I'm thinking about re-doing the front suspension along with the motor.

A lot of people have had issues with jagsthatrun. The best place I've found so far is current performance wiring. I will be getting my Harness and sandersen shorty headers from them. I think they give a package deal at about 1g for both. That is a complete plug and play harness custom tailored to the accessories your are running, the trans you use, and everything works like factory even the guages!

I saw a picture of an s-10 sitting on some ZR1's yesterday, this has about changed my mind on wheels. I'm thinking 18x11 and 17x9.5. The roundness of the spokes on the ZR1's really fit the body of the S-10 much better than the C6 wheels.

As for name here are a couple I'm kicking around.

SS-10
ZR-10
LS-10

anyone got any other ideas shoot them out. Any external badging would be airbrushed, and would mimick its respective original badge name, (SS, ZR-1, not sure about the LS-10).

i finally got the block into the house yesterday. Hopefully it didn't get exposed to too much moisture. It was in the back of the truck for a week and saw quite a bit of rain (I bagged it before the rain started). Hopefully I can get some good pics of the block and heads by sunday.

Ah yes Mike Knell, that guy hates my jag. My 79 xj12 seems to keep running away from his XJS. Mike Makes a good kit for putting a small block into a variety of cars. Seems like the guy loves doing motor swaps.

Talk to ZZ4Blazer on this site. He is running AFX spindles.

Other site to check out.

I won't be much help with the pro-touring S-10 stuff since mine is more street/strip with a big block.

I've talked to zz4 over on the s10forums site. That is the way that I will go. The truck is going in the shop on Monday to have the cylinder 3 missfire checked out. If that problem is a relatively easy fix, I'll fix it and slow down on the build, probably doing the front suspension, rear end and wheels and tires before I finish the motor.

pictures of the block and goodies.

No pics yet, the bumpstick and stock rocker arms showed up today.

Total rundown of what I've spent so far

Block-155
Heads-129
Oil Pump-26
Push Rods-10
Fuel Rail-37
Cam-25
Rockers-60
Covers-88 (this included a couple of sensors as well)
Injectors-42

So far I've spent 572. This will be a stock build. I figure I'll have all of the main parts for under a grand. Then spend what I would have spent on bearings and having it all machined and assembled and get out for less than I would have spent, buying an LS1 and having it rebuilt.
