2.2 or 4.3? Wirings a lot easier on a 4.3.
I'd move it before it rains. That background looks like a mudslide waiting to happen.
Here in the salt belt that'd be $2500 truck. No rot.

So it would work then?
either can be made to work, the real issue, is, California emissions.
No matter what you do, youre going to have a vehicle thats technically not legal in cali.
youd be miles ahead buying something legal, like a mid 90s fullsize truck that already has a V8 and then modify that.
A v8 s10 is fun, i have one, but i dont have cali inspections or anything like that to deal with

Yea I know. I can register it out of cali but that could be a option. I wonder if i can make a bigger truck just as fast.

Little bit past the 90's is the 02-06 Silverado SS.
Using the same LQ9 engine design found in the Cadillac Escalade, the Silverado SS is propelled by 345 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. A specially tuned four-speed automatic transmission paired with the Silverado SS' 6.0L engine designed to optimize acceleration and highway cruising performance of the truck.
