Larry WoodfinColorado/Canyon package build up
I am curious if anyone is building a Colorado/Canyon package. I like the look and think it would be a good choice for GT or other classes. That body has been on the market long enough to be plentiful and inexpensive

bry-warReserved for foreign and domestic factory-production two-door coupes,
two-door sedans, sports cars, convertibles, or station wagons with any
production V-8 engine of the same make.
Also the body and the engine must be in the classification guide. I see no listing for that platform.

Larry WoodfinBW, you are correct it is not in the NHRA guide. I "think" if a fellow wanted to pursue the issue, he could get it listed with NHRA.
That aside, the bracket and other classes are an open page.
I am just curious if anyone is doing a build, in any class.

Brian McHattieI've built one for brackets, and with what I've done to it, it may be eligible if it was in the guide.

Tim MitchellI think it would be lighter than the S-10,at least the early models should be. I was working at a chevy dealer when they were new,seemed really tinny and cheap compared to the S-10. I don't ever remember seeing a 5.3 in one though and I've worked on quite a few over the years. That's not saying they never put one in it,I've just never seen one.

Brian McHattieIt's definitely not going to be lighter than an S-10. Truck is actually bigger than an s-series, especially in the engine bay.
