Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Very sweet deal! And like said above the amount of swap ready production pieces makes the swap a no brainer at this point, especially with that cost

Yup, steam! That's about all I have at this point, but it's a-comin'

I thought so. Nice and clean inside, too. The truck it came out of looked babied, but a small fender bender apparently totaled it...

I missed the pics of the full coil over suspension. Congrats! Looking forward to watching that installation.

Thanks, been a long time coming. This is at least the third dropmember I've owned; I'd like to actually install and drive this one...

Playing around with ideas for this five-three. I think it will end up with a less than modern look to it:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

If I ever change the motor on my truck and keep it naturally aspirated, I would do something like that, makes it look more factory.

Hm, what about a roots-style blower on an LS? Period-correct, at least. Or turbo with an elbow, hmmm...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Where did the throttle body set up come from? I'd love to do that on mine as well. I've been having my eyes on your thread for a while and I'm ready to see the coil over set up

It's an OZMO 4150 to 4-bolt adapter paired with an ICT billet 4-bolt to 3-bolt adapter, sitting under an LM7 throttle body and MAF. I'll have to rotate the throttle linkage 90° (keeping the 700r4, so need cable/TV), couple the TB to the MAF, and adapt an air cleaner. This was a quick mockup to see how tall it will be; ends up comparable to my carb/factory spacer Check out dayj1's "another way to skin the cat" thread in the LS swap forum for ideas/inspiration.

Thanks for the interest--coil overs coming soon-ish...

This one:

It's the Holley 300-137 which will allow me to use stock injectors (with Holley fuel rails). Air cleaner will change in final assembly--just using this old thing for mock-up. Love me some car parts in the living room

Gringoloco, it's been awhile since I've tuned in on the forum. You never seem to amaze me. I'm still trying to build your 1.0 version and your on 3.0 now. Keep at it so I can continue to learn new ideas from you.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

was that tailgate on KSL? I remember seeing a medium bronze one just like that on there. What are your plans for it if you need to cut it up?

Thanks dudes! I was pretty stoked to find it. I didn't get this one from ksl, but at the classic yard in Ogden.

I'll be using one of the gates to do something similar to this:

That is a good looking intake setup. I hear that the flat planes are the way to go for fuel injection because the similar length runners make for a more consistent afr across all cylinders. It is also nice you can use your stock injectors, even though that wont matter when you add boost to it a year after you get the truck up and running again. ... actually, I give it 6 months!.... your are probably doing it already....

Guys, keep your eyes open on the ls classified section! There is going to be a sweet holly LS intake up for sale soon!

How is it that you're in my brain? I could keep the intake setup with a turbo...
