New s10 looking into pro-touring

[94zson]

Hi,
I am from South Carolina. I have a 2001 Z28 that I drag race and I just got a 99 S10 that I am looking into making a pro-touring style truck.

It is a reg cab, short bed. I have a stout 383 that is going to go in it backed up by some type of manual trans with a 9" rear(junkyard find out of a third gen). My biggest hurdle right now is researching for front suspension that will match up with big brakes without breaking the millions for the brake system.

Any help you can offer would be good.

I am really looking for info on
1. Inexpensive (not cheap) 13" front brakes(Z51, Z06, etc)
2. Front suspension compatable with ^ brakes
3. Manual trans that would hold up to 500 hp(engine dynoed at 521)


Thanks Arthur
