The legend is so much more car than a S10 could ever wish to be, thats why when I saw you traded your Legend for a S10 I was disgusted. Hell I can get S10's around here for nearly FREE.
The saying goes for a S10 V8, Power is nothing without control.

There's no replacement for displacement.
And Acuras and Hondas around here go for really low, since I live in mid michigan, which is mostly GM products. Everyone is either a hick, redneck, or black, I rarely see anything foreign, other than mercedes and BMW. And everyone is interested in trucks. In the local autorv online, there are 10 pages of hondas, and 44 pages of chevroletcars, and 77 pages of chevrolet trucks. Michigan has the most extremes of weather than any other state. -20 in the winter, and 95 in the summer with 90% humidity, sometimes worse, so its necessary to have a vehicle that can handle it all. I'm not a truck man myself, but I do like SUV's. Full size trucks are too hickish for me, but my dad's Duramax Turbo Diesel is pretty sweet... and fun to drive. I just think s10s are cool when they have big wheels and are bagged, plus 2nd gen v8s arent very common, so it adds to the fun. I guess it's just people's interest in what they want to do. The Acura had a super clean body, but the back power windows fell down all the time and didn't work, there wasn't a key lock in the trunk, it was just a hole since I didn't have the clip for it, and the sunroof had rust in it, so when it rained water would leak in the interior. Acura transmissions are hard to get around here. I just wanted something I could easily fix and cheaply. Building this 350 would normally be cheap, but I'm going with roller cams and the machining is going to be $400 on it.
