yeah it'll work, make sure you have same series geras or swap the gears too and count the splines so you get what you have, or buy what you need.

why is it a good idea to put the s10 posi in it is it stroner or is it the same just cheaper?

Same, sometimes just cheaper at the wrecker.

S-10s should have the Eaton Locker, wich is not ideal for race applications.

I had that Eaton POS in my Blazer till the gov lock mechanism locked and would not unlock. I replaced it with an Auburn. If you're at a wracking yard you may as well try to find a low mileage unit from a 3rd or 4th gen. You still need to replace bearings and check for the R & P set up.

When Chevy Hi Performance did their "My Generation Camaro" series, they used both a set of 3.73s and posi from an S10. I don't know what type of posi it was, but they just rebuilt it and voila!

According to the shop I bought my Auburn from it would be more expensive to rebuild the Eaton than to buy a complete Auburn. Plus I like the Auburn dessign better it is locked unless it needs to slip, the Eaton is unlocked until it detects 100rpm difference in right to left wheel speed. The Auburn is much simpler idea remember the KISS principal Keep It Simple Stupid.
