    I have searched the site but have not found much so here is my question.

    I have an 89 S10 that I plan on using as a frame transplant for a 47 IHC truck I picked up. I plan on putting a V8 in the rig although I am contemplating an Olds 455. Due to the increased weight up front what supsension mods do I need to make so it does float around like it is bottoming out the suspension all the time?

    Not a single reply? I'm a bit suprised I didn't get info or hammered.

    some times its timing, not the right people see the post. Do a search someone here is buildind a IHC on a S-10 frame.
     
  4. Check the weights, the 455 is one of the lightest big blocks. I wouldn't worry about it.
    Or was that the Buick 455?
    Google it.
