This East Texas homeboy has LS swapped his Chevrolet S10 pickup. With its rear-wheel drivetrain and spacious engine bay, the S10 is a popular vehicle among enthusiasts looking to stuff a V8 where a four or six-cylinder once rested.

Sparse modifications include a Summit Racing Stage 2 camshaft and a full accoutrement of bolt-ons. Shifting duties are handled with a 4L60E automatic transmission using a 2,300-stall converter.
