    It's still up at the paint shop in Heber-Overgaard and I probably can't pick it up until a week from Friday.

    I drove it to the shop over 1 year ago, so yes it is drivable but I have some stuff to go through before I take it very far. Also, the original 4 speed and rear end configuration is pretty wound out at 50-55MPH. I am considering a 5 speed conversion so that I can drive it further. I have to find a solution that keeps the shifter in the correct position and doesn't hit the seat. I am hearing a 2WD S10 T5 might be an option. I will be putting it behind the stock 248 6 banger. I will keep the drums all around and likely won't mess with the rear end too much either, although its possible that the right gearing out back might fix everything.
