It finally starts... another S10 swap...

[Thadious]

So... busy over the holidays... got some work done on a buddies house that netted me $1100, so time to buy more goodies!

I ended up with a Painless TBI harness, a set of headers, a Monster-in-a-box Transmission rebuild kit and a new fuel pump from a late 80's F**d F150.

Last friday I tore down the old transmission that came behind my V6 4.3 (used it because it had the "K" case in it), turns out it was a V8 trans anyways.... score!

This was after it was stripped down and cleaned...


All the guts strewn across my workbench! Wow... didn't realize there was sooo much stuff in there (never rebuilt a trans before!)



And my Christmas present to myself!



Finally got it all put back together on tuesday night, last night bolted it and my headers to the block.... What a pretty sexy combo! And should hold up to the power of the V8 no issues now.



Should have the mounting brackets all welded and bolted up tonight.. primer and Zero rust on and dropped back in by tomorrow...

Cheers!
Ted.
