V8 S10 Conversion Body Off 1982 on 2040-cars
Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
|
Here is an extremely straight not a door ding absolutely show straight body with a professional paint job done frame off inside and out all door jambs under hood bed etc however it was frame offed about 10 years past then fell into some barn after engine threw rod. I bought it for way too much $ because of the condition of body and underneath, which is almost as impressive. zero rust none. The underside is clean as well. Anyway I had my mechanic who specializes in s10 rods and races an s10 Blazer do the install of basically a very nice running 350 which had been rebuilt out of a show cutlass who upgraded to 450 hp. Engine seems to be stock truck motor out of pre 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe or suburban with a 4 bbl and dual exhaust. the trans is a 700r4 which shifts very smooth and the rear end I'm guessing is 3:25 somewhere around there. Now with the 16" Camaro z28 rims it will spin the tires at will even at speed so the motor has too much power to do anything with without going posi and some type of traction aid. It is basically a driver and she is very dependable my son has driven it the past month daily since his car was broken. It is very well mannered if driven like Grandma or she will fly if desired. The gas mileage is decent with the 700r. I bought the car also because it had both heat which works well and a/c system complete. Most s10 conversions remove everything but this one is a step above. I was going to finish it and do everything but I have recently been given custody of a 2 yr old to go along with the 6 yr old so now I cannot use this truck and need ext cab. so before I paint it and it gets more expensive I'm putting her up for cheap. This truck could be extremely nice with very little elbow grease, plus you can drive it anywhere any distance right now. new alternator, new starter, new battery, brakes are excellent, exhaust is perfect, gas is clean and electric fuel pump works dependably. Best of all it does not get hot with the 2 electric fans and the special aluminum radiator stuff needing attention :1. seats need removed and new springs installed they are shot 2. there is water coming in on drivers side floor there is an easy fix on internet haven't got to it yet 3. speedocable either broke or disconnected it was working but not now 4. headliner is new but glue failed and needs reglued 5. never bothered to hook up radio |

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
