Re: Ad 454 s10 swap

Ive seen several big block swaps into s10's. The firewall had to be pushed back a little, rad flushed into the coresupport and pusher fans installed instead of pullers. As for the exhaust, 2 of the pipes on the long tube headers were inside the frame while the other 2 wrapped around the outside in the wheel well.

Basically what im saying is if its possible in the tiny engine compartment of a first gen s10... it should be more then possible in a AD/s10 frame swapped truck. The s10 frame widens out just behind where the manifolds dump down when installed in the s10 body... so since the motor sits back a good 6" back further when these frames are used with an AD body a set of long tube headers that tuck inside the frame should clear nicely. The ones for a 73-87 c10 is more the style I'm referring to.
