 Made it down and back without any problems. That's over 2000 miles.

 

Didn't have enough traction to take advantage of the engine, truck needs a LSD. I removed the welded 3.73 and used an open 3.08 for the Challenge. I didn't want to risk an axle failure 1,000 miles from home, and the hi-way RPM was high enough with the 3.08.  Truck ran a 15.2 with lots of tire spin and poor shifting by me. Decent rubber will surely put this thing well into the 14's.  ( I am used a 440 UTG tire)

 

Considering selling it, offers?

Making it there and back under its own power is a huge success by itself!

 I should have posted this sooner, I had it in teh build book and on the truck during the concours:

 

While not a formal team, there is a list of people to thank. Weather they lent me a tool, gave me some inspiration, advice, or rolled up their sleeves for a few hours each was an important contribution.

 

Chuck LaVoy  -  Thanks Dad!

Steve LaVoy – Truly my brother from another mother.

Barb Curtis - sewing skills are part of every Challenge car, right mom?

Trade for A fantastic land yacht that's not nearly as useful to me as the S10 would be?

how many miles are on the BMW? Send me a PM please so we can talk about this further.

 

A trade makes the BMW Challenge legal right? devil

In reply to Gearheadotaku :

The BMW is still under Challenge budget and, yes, trading it would mean your 740iL challenge car would start at the same $ as the S10 ended.
