Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I had the pcv system all screwed up. I was putting way too much vaccum on the heads and i guess it was forcing oil into the cylinders. I changed the valve stem seals and it got a lot better. Only did it under high rpm after that. I took vaccum completely off the heads all together and vented both sides and it started running great with no smoke. Put the exhaust on and it stopped running rich. Finally got all the air out of the power steering system. Had a scare last night tho. I pulled my radiator cap and there was black sludge at the top. I immediately thought head gasket was screwed. Isnt running hot tho. I let it settle and went back out there it was just on the top. Im just guessing it was leftover dexcool that was in the block that i didnt get all the way out. It does that when it mixes with green coolant. Getting an alignment today hopefully and ill be good!

Now that you have it on the road, how is the pusher fan working for you?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Im still working all the bugs out of course. As far as the pusher fan. I have driven it probably 100 miles since i finished it. Havent overheated yet. Stays around 180-200. These engines normally run over 200. Gotta figure out if i got somethong wrong in the cooling system or not. I got black fluid that keeps showing up. I thinm its dexcool mixed with green. Im gonna flush the system and see what i get. Steering linkage is messed up. I think i may have the center link on backwards. The pass side where the tierod connects to the center link. The nut tightens all the way down and the cotter pin hole is like almost a half inch away from the castle nut. It tightens way too far. Other side barely tightens to the castle nut. Im thinking the taper or stud side is different per side. If not i got a defective center link

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Man this thing is looking great!!! I've been following the build for a while now and I love it. Ive got a 55.1 that I am doing a S10 swap on and I was going to use a TPI L98 from an 88 Trans am that is laying around but I recently came on a 5.3L LS engine out of a 03 Silverado. It is basically the block, heads, intake and throttle body. Early on you briefly mentioned the parts needed to take the engine to where it is now. Do you have a detailed list of everything you picked up?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I appreciate the help. I hate to keep bugging about details but what cam did you choose to go with? Stock or something a bit more lumpy?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
hahahhah the wife couldn't handle it, cracked me up. I tell my gal we aint getting married till she drives my truck. Its a standard so its gonna be a little harder for her I know that.
the weight sounds about right. I'd like to get my current project weighed when done, lot of fab work on it and welding, coatings etc. that stuff adds up in weight.
