Re: '51 1300 attempt at restoring
51Charlotte,
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the kind words on my build (Atommik). As far as your questions go, I think your s10 may have been a 4cyl. I looked back at my pics and the original motor mounts on my s10 looked different and mine was a 6 cyl.
I would say that the Z28 drive shaft will be too long. I don't know for sure but that would be my guess. I reused my S10 2 piece shaft and shortened the front section by about 3 inches.
As far as front suspension goes, I left the S10 front stock. The motor that was in it weighed about the same as my 327. Some guys do add a front sway bar though.
Enjoy your build, and I will be following along.
