An awesome Sonoma

americanmuscleman · March 9, 2003

Saw this Sonoma online, and thought I would post the link to it. It has a Lingenfelter built 7.0L (427ci) C5-R block with twin turbos! Definitely the coolest S-10/Sonoma I've seen!

I figured that engine and tranny had to cost at least 50 grand, but 100g's WOW! I'm sure the tranny is covered under warranty for 2yr/24k like Lingenfelter normally backs everything up. I just can't see why you would put a 4L60-E behind that kind of power. Even with the best internals, those trannies can't take 750hp for very long. I'm sure putting a beefed up 4L80-E was thought of, but since its longer, I bet it wouldn't work with the AWD system.

I say skip the AWD system, and put a TH400 tranny in with a Gear Venders overdrive. A near bulletproof 6 speed auto... yes please

I bet it sure would be fun to pull up next to a corvette (or anything fast actually! ) and ROAST whoever you race with that AWD system
