Re: Syclone Killer

So no updates, mainly been messing with the Lincoln and working. But for any S 10 owners with fog lights this may interest you. ironically I found one switch the day after I ordered the other, but on with the point. The switch with the very nice bezel had cut wires, so I ordered an NOS switch for an Astro van and robbed the actual switch part and viola NOS s10 fog light switch. Atleast now o have a not so purdy spare that I’ll never need.

Re: Syclone Killer

Sometimes when life is too busy even the smallest things feel like an accomplishment. Only update is I got the truck in the garage and now I have the correct rear end under it.
If anyone has ever tried to find a factory 4WD 3.73 axle you know it’s not too easy, bonus it’s a disc brake rear with aluminum calipers to match my blazer dual pistons up front.

Great to see you back on this project. The disc brake rear end is pretty common but the 2wd vs 4WD issue is all climate dependent to your area. I have been looking for a 2wd one for quite some time but everything on my side of our state is 4wd for the most part due to the amount of snow we get so the rare 2wd one that comes up is stripped clean rather quickly.

I did something similar to your project using a Bravada as the donor inside and out. I made my S10 into an Oldsmobile Bravada appearing AWD truck with the upscale Olds leather interior. The plan was to turbo the 4.3 but I didn't get that far before I needed a bigger truck for work and it had to go in favor of my 1995 DRW K3500.

Yeah the disc and 4wd was the easy part, as you have experience with the bravada you may know this already. But the bravada and ZR2 are the only 4wd axles I’ve ever seen come 3.73 and posi.

Re: Syclone Killer

Yes it’s been a while, between working 6 days a week, the cold, and upgraded the Lincoln to a 6speed auto, let’s just say I’ve had my hands full.

So anywho, for those that haven’t ever seen an LS7 clutch here ya go. The flywheel and clutch only go with each other as you can see there are raised pads for the pressure plate and speaking of, look at the thickness(mass) of the pressure plate. I didn’t have trans fluid laying around and it’s a lot easier to fill before installing so perhaps I’ll get that done tomorrow.

I did get the LS2 intake put on, took it off the Lincoln where I was using adapters and put the correct Ls3 one on it so there is another thing that had to wait.

Re: Syclone Killer

Sunbird cluster.

Do you happen to recall the number of that GT? I've been halfheartedly documenting them and wouldn't mind adding that to the junked list.

Well technically not a sunbird cluster but they did start off as that. Redline is different.

Re: Syclone Killer

SomeTimes I hate living so close to Summit, other times I love it. Picked up a set of scratch and dent special Corvette rotors and pads. Guess that means it’s getting the big brake treatment

Re: Syclone Killer

No updates per say. I’ve been fiddling a little at night when it’s cooler. Putting the Lincoln on hold for a bit since all that’s left is paint Really.

Anyways decided this will be my third vehicle with hydroboost.

Also acquired a ridetech 3 link for the rear suspension. So gotta back up a little before going forward. Kinda had no choice at $400 instead of retail at $1850.

And was given a K&N kit for a 18 and newer Tahoe which will work great for my air intake

All better now?
Proof of concept works, now I just need some 3/8 steel to make the adapters.

14” GT500 rotors with the stud holes opened up to 3/4”. And the hub bore size is within 1.5mm so I’m not worried about vibrations.

Re: Syclone Killer

So the project did not die. But between getting married, buying a new house, getting a real shop, building a leanto for the truck and trailer, shop heat and air, building the wife a 6.2/6L80 envoy, and some other stuff I’m sure.

I’m back to working on my stuff. Completely forgot about posting anything on the forum. But in the last couple of weeks I’ve installed coil covers on the front, to match the coil over and ride Tech suspension in the rear.
Front corvette rotors and calipers
Just got the low mount ac fitted tonight
Next is redoing my turbo hot side as I wasn’t happy with my hack job trying to finish before I moved.

Re: Syclone Killer

I take it the GT500 calipers didn't work out?
