Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
That's all great info. Thanks guys!!! I know the truck intake will provide more power but I ended up snagging an ls1 intake, rails and injectors. I'm not overly worried about horsepower and part of the reason I went with an ls is cause I love the look of the ls1 with the rail covers in a truck like this. I have an l98 350 supercharged that I decided not to use in lieu of the ls. I can already see the dollar signs add up but it will be exactly what I wanted. All rambling aside, I wanted to know what you did for your steam lines and did you use the truck throttle body? Now I've gotta keep my eyes out for a 4l60e trans. All of the newer silverados and sierras are stripped to the bones within minutes of hitting the yard and I'm too ignorant to know what other vehicles have the same trans (able to use with no mods). Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated!!! Thanks again and this thread is my motivation.

I used the truck throttle body. The steam ports i ran a line to the waterpump spacers i used. I tapped the spacer.
The white walls are 2 inches i think |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Subbin in for this awesome build
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Dude I don't know where I would be without your build. So I got the block back together and the ls1 intake in and it's looking like the fuel rail is going to hit the coil pack on the drivers side. Did you run into this?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Awesome thanks!!!! I guess I should spend a little more time over at the ls1tech forums. Thanks again

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I had to bend the fuel rail up a little. No big deal just dont kink it.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Great looking truck! I would change a thing. Just curious if you could give me a lenght of your lower 4-link arms (center of axle tube to center of front mounting bolt. I'm trying to rap-up my suspension work while in the proses of getting the title for my 55 1st ser. I don't want to tear the body off untill I have that title in my hand. Also what backspacing are you running front and rear on your wheels?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Layedout,
Can I please get some specs on the steering column you used? Brand, length etc. Your headers look like the same ones I bought, so I figure if your linkage clears, I should copy it. Did you move the steering hole in the firewall from the stock location? Thanks for any input you can supply. |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Awesome truck and great job on the build! Thanks for sharing it.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Still using the stock s10 tank. The transmission took a dump on me. On the search for a rebuilt 4l60e now....
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
sorry to hear about the trans. are you running a standalone harness for the trans?
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Im using the stock harness for everything
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
right on, so with that are you only able to run the 60e? could you run an 80e?
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
To use a 4l80e i would have to change the harness. Also the yoke is different and i would have to remake the trans crossmember. Then i would have to buy a shifter. Mine wouldnt go over a 4l80
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
cool, good to know. haven't dove into that info yet.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
find your trans yet
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Looks great. I'm just getting started on my '51. What size are the tires?
