The nice thing about GM parts is that they go together like Legos. The other nice thing about GM vehicles is that everything you could ever want to do has already been done with extensive notes on how to do it.

0:53 "Not for fuel" printed directly on the fuel line. Classic project car stuff

[@bldontmatter5319]

I expect nothing less from Chevy people. Low class

[@RealSB83]

You gotta love that Mazda 3 intro. The music is the cherry on top.

im pretty sure zach payed someone to make the theme, ive been watching for a few years!@@Brian_Eugene_Lee

The upside down steering wheel 🥴

[@willursh]

She’s back to normal now ✅

[@RIVERSIDEREVIEWS]

I thought that was intentional to fit the sleeper asthetic@@willursh

[@willursh]

@@RIVERSIDEREVIEWSthe guy who originally owned it didn’t do it, the guy after him that swapped it didn’t do it, the guy after that guy did it and sold it to his buddy that’s the guy who I got it from and no one knows why the guy did it but it’s upside and a new used one 😂

[@bapa6396]

I miss the review number counter that would be in the top right, it was cool to see how many you’ve done

[@ShootingCars]

I was very proud of that too. But I had to remove it because I had to start uploading out of order due to press cars, scheduling, etc. so it would go review #1001 then #1013 the #998 so it would confuse people more than anything.

[@cardiffchris]

Steering wheel upside down?

[@zacm7713]

Lol he's driving straight while the steering wheel is upside-down LOLOL😂

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I love the Mini Truck scene & I SO love this truck. The only thing I'd change about this truck is the name on the ownership papers!

[@bennydykes7256]

What r the heat shields called around the plug wire boots at the headers?

[@DJTAZ1996]

I love the s10s and the v8 355 chevy is great in that tiny truck. Great stance and i love those style wheels/rims

[@erich84502ify]

4.3 V6 with 5 speed manual is fun

[@swartzbruder7726]

the automatic really quick

[@thewisewillshine]

the 2.2L is one of the same motors theyve put in the grumman LLV (mail trucks) supposedly, they will last forever!!! so, next time you hear an s10 with a 4 cylinder in it just close your eyes and listen to that distinct reliable sound people have heard from almost every mail carrier pulling up with a package to thier mailbox. it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside 😂

[@txtncnomad6095]

Although I've never had the pleasure of driving one with a V8 swap, I used to drive a company 4.3 V6 S10 as a patrol truck back in the days when I was a security guard for a gated community of millionaires here in Texas. The neighborhood was incredibly hilly, but the 4.3 could push the truck up those hills very nicely; certainly better than the 3.0 V6 used in the usual Ford Rangers! Do be careful about the accelerator cable link to the gas pedal, though: I had one break on the patrol truck, and really didn't have a non-awkward way to get the truck back to get it serviced (remember the hills?)

[@logan77887788]

Will loves this truck almost as much as all his snapon tools! Great video!

[@bldontmatter5319]

The rust is just too much. Growing up in the salt belt , i cant believe people actually think rust is stylistic or something. It's corrosion. Its rot.

[@dave11686]

No really?🙄 It’s not rotted, in this instance it looks interesting.

[@bldontmatter5319]

@@dave11686 no shoot it ain't rotted... It's painted to look like rot. Read the comment I said. Seriously.

[@dave11686]

@@bldontmatter5319 it’s called “patina” and it looks good in this case. I’m fully aware of what rust is.

[@bldontmatter5319]

@@dave11686 patina is paint aging with time. This is literally painted like rust. It even has sections "missing" to simulate rot LOL

some years I put a volvo b230ft (turbo volvo 2.3l) into an '88 s10... got it mounted and running on megasquirt... didn't have time or $$$ to finish it... only big thing I had left was the driveshaft... I wish I would have finished that thing... would have been an interesting thing.

[@melvinburwell8202]

I had a 84 S10 king cab. Best vehicle I've owned. 12 years 2.8 litter V6. This is what I wanted to do. That rust on the body ain't good. 🏁👍❤️❤️

[@collinwinter6210]

I went to college with a guy with a older boxy s10 350 swapped it was cool.

[@bwofficial1776]

I had a neighbor who had a V8 S-10 drag-racing truck. Thing was loud. He did quarter-mile racing but I forget how fast it was. He was just a redneck working on his truck out in the open because he didn't have a garage.

[@ooigfgnnkhjjnc]

Wires are burnt. Brake lines rigged all over.

[@highbrass7563]

My 97 Sunfire coupe has the 2.2L LN2 Engine. It's a fantastic engine. Noisy and buzzy but ultra reliable.

[@willursh]

Thanks Zack 😎🤝

[@josh1alderete]

Gorgeous 🙌🏽

[@semectual]

The Rebellious Chevy S10.

[@djrowe10]

Not sure who you are young aspiring video guy but a BBF or BBC into the s10/s15 or ford ranger platform is much more impressive. I have seen many and have done many v8 swaps over last the 30 years. Maybe I should have you fly out to Cleveland to film the next car I v8 big block swap to show just how extremely difficult it is compared to small block swaps. You sound like Jack Black the actor and will watch more of your videos. 👍

[@Dankcatvacs]

Zack a 5.8 is a 351 Ford so what gives?oh 350 strokedto 355..

What drop kit did he use 5/6?

[@willursh]

4/5 belltech

[@RIVERSIDEREVIEWS]

Sleeper to the extreme 2.2 sticker on the window. That little beast probably loves eating new Tacoma's like tacos…. Legend has it someone put a rotary in an old Mazda-B/Ranger once and it was madness too…oh wait think that’s on KZbin if you search.

[@RedneckHillbilly-ho9md]

Not diggin the flipped steering wheel but no where near as bad and ridiculous as these squatted trucks.

[@willursh]

Steering wheel is back upright

[@cxryptonic]

The rust 😂😂😂

[@atx-cvpi_99]

That rust is fake.

[@bldontmatter5319]

Imagine purposely making your car look like you didn't maintain the paint lol ... Salt belt people are so disappointed

That’s what makes the Chevy a Chevy 😂

[@jgizzy]

You didn't even do any acceleration runs, and to be fair nobody really gives a butt about if your thermos fits. Other than that, I still like the concept of this channel.

[@dave11686]

Really cool truck

[@willursh]

Thanks buddy

[@tjmills5494]

Ive been an s10 lover for over 25 years. And I’ve never seen anyone flip the steering wheel upside down before. Looks unattractive and j don’t understand why anyone would want to do that.

[@oldodger]

Really not impressed with the steering component(s) alignment. The steering wheel is 180 degrees out. What else is out of whack I'm thinking.

[@willursh]

Steering wheel got swapped out and is facing the right way .. so

The kei trucks are cool too but getting one plus parts and service can be a nightmare on anything JDM

[@BenyKorenberg]

Really not my cup of tea... How to ruin a good car for no reason at all... And that "petina" trend is... Ughhhhhhh... "Unique" doesn't really always means good, usable, smart or anything positive for that matter...

[@willursh]

Glad you don’t own it ✅

[@SammyHaggar-lc9ho]

I’ve seen LS swapped s10s that look stock under the hood. Making a fuel injected vehicle carbureted is going backwards. I’ve seen swapped trucks actually go backwards in power by removing that vortec 4.3 and putting a stock tbi 5.7 with a carb . I’d bet this truck still has the 2.2s rear end too. I like the distressed look but the powertrain swap is lazy af and botched imo

[@willursh]

Different rear end actually.
