those stock s-10 rearends are pretty beefy to,or they suprised me anyway,I had a 10 with a 355ci and built turbo 350 in it,ran out of money for a rear so I just lincoln locked the stock 342 rear and put 8" MT's on it and run the crap out of it,the motor went before the rear end did,I would have lost money on that,it was'nt a hp monster but wuold turn consistant 13.50's at the track,those s-10's are fun to play with.
