The one I helped with was used and abused by a then 16 yr. old boy who can destroy a anvil with a kleenex. He never broke the original drive train with the stock 250".However we later changed to a s-10 5 speed and nova rearend and found he could destroy that trans. at will. However if you can find a 235"-261" that would be easier. BG HANK hang around here too long and we will warp your mind, till you start thinking like we do. Stick with us!!! 1 OL REDNECK
