I bought a donor for my locost build yesterday. It's a 1993 Chevy S-10 with the 2.8L V6 that I got for $450. It runs but loses power when given gas. I'm hoping it's just a fuel delivery problem but we'll see when I get a better chance to look at the engine when I get it pulled and cleaned up. I'll post some pictures later today or tomorrow of the donor car.
I'm planning on building a 442E or something custom slightly bigger than the book frame to fit the V6. I'll be using the live axle for the rear for simplicity sake (442E might not work though since the axle is so narrow). I'm going to try and get some F-body rear disc brakes from a junkyard and possibly some F-body brakes for the front.
I'm hoping to start tearing down the donor car starting on Friday considering I have a Diff Eq test and a Physics test this week. If all goes well with disassembling the car, then I will work on building my build table next week and hopefully start building my frame by next weekend.
