So I did a s10 upgrade on my 78 malibu and realized the rotor got hot after getting off the highway? Also have a grand national rear end and drums felt like they where sticking. What can it be?

Caliper piston sticking
Rubber brake hose degraded/collapsed inside
Caplier slides sticking
Brake pades sticking in the bracket

I would take everything apart and clean and grease it.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to flush the old fluid out if you haven't, all that junk that can come off the brake lines, calipers, etc.
Are the S10 calipers new? With the wheels on, are any of them difficult to turn? They should have some resistance, enough to where they come to a stop eventually (within a few seconds), but not almost immediately after spinning. If they stop in less that a second, something is sticking.
