You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap. - Page 7 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

steve aleve · 09-04-2014, 11:33 PM

That's all great info. Thanks guys!!! I know the truck intake will provide more power but I ended up snagging an ls1 intake, rails and injectors. I'm not overly worried about horsepower and part of the reason I went with an ls is cause I love the look of the ls1 with the rail covers in a truck like this. I have an l98 350 supercharged that I decided not to use in lieu of the ls. I can already see the dollar signs add up but it will be exactly what I wanted. All rambling aside, I wanted to know what you did for your steam lines and did you use the truck throttle body? Now I've gotta keep my eyes out for a 4l60e trans. All of the newer silverados and sierras are stripped to the bones within minutes of hitting the yard and I'm too ignorant to know what other vehicles have the same trans (able to use with no mods). Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated!!! Thanks again and this thread is my motivation.

I used the truck throttle body. The steam ports i ran a line to the waterpump spacers i used. I tapped the spacer.

The white walls are 2 inches i think

Looks Awesome!!

Subbin in for this awesome build

steve aleve · 09-21-2014, 12:19 AM

Dude I don't know where I would be without your build. So I got the block back together and the ls1 intake in and it's looking like the fuel rail is going to hit the coil pack on the drivers side. Did you run into this?

Truck coil packs and ls1 fuel rails? You will run into that. Just lightly bend the fuel rail nipple up to clear the coil pack. Its a simple fix and commonly done over on ls1tech.com

steve aleve · 09-21-2014, 01:29 AM

Awesome thanks!!!! I guess I should spend a little more time over at the ls1tech forums. Thanks again

Layedoutsonoma91 · 09-22-2014, 01:31 PM

I had to bend the fuel rail up a little. No big deal just dont kink it.

whiteheadcycle · 10-10-2014, 12:13 AM

Great looking truck! I would change a thing. Just curious if you could give me a lenght of your lower 4-link arms (center of axle tube to center of front mounting bolt. I'm trying to rap-up my suspension work while in the proses of getting the title for my 55 1st ser. I don't want to tear the body off untill I have that title in my hand. Also what backspacing are you running front and rear on your wheels?

tlorber · 10-10-2014, 12:17 PM

Layedout,
Can I please get some specs on the steering column you used? Brand, length etc.
Your headers look like the same ones I bought, so I figure if your linkage clears, I should copy it. Did you move the steering hole in the firewall from the stock location?

Thanks for any input you can supply.

**Advanced Design** · 10-10-2014, 06:52 PM

Awesome truck and great job on the build! Thanks for sharing it.

The lower link bars are roughly 21.5 inches center hole to center axle. They are adjustable ends tho and can be changed. I also moved my front leaf spring perch back about 5 inches. Not sure on my back spacing 15x7 with s10 back spacing. I have spacers on front and 4x4 rear end.

The steering column is an ebay one. I have no clue on how long it was. I think it was 46"?? Dont quote me tho. I moved the firewall hole down where it was in the floor part more. None of it in the wall portion. Also moved it over about an inch to the driver side to clear the headers better. I had to buy a couple joints and fab the linkage to make a turn around the headers anyway.

Thanks for the info! Are you still using the small tank (13.3gal) that came with the s10 or did you move up to the 18gal tanks? Also what setup did you use for the fuel pump?

tlorber · 10-11-2014, 10:59 AM

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 10-19-2014, 11:21 AM

Still using the stock s10 tank. The transmission took a dump on me. On the search for a rebuilt 4l60e now....

99 to Life · 10-19-2014, 11:40 AM

sorry to hear about the trans. are you running a standalone harness for the trans?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 10-19-2014, 11:45 AM

Im using the stock harness for everything

99 to Life · 10-19-2014, 11:51 AM

right on, so with that are you only able to run the 60e? could you run an 80e?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 10-19-2014, 12:12 PM

To use a 4l80e i would have to change the harness. Also the yoke is different and i would have to remake the trans crossmember. Then i would have to buy a shifter. Mine wouldnt go over a 4l80

99 to Life · 10-19-2014, 09:51 PM

cool, good to know. haven't dove into that info yet.

mr incredible · 10-31-2014, 07:32 PM

find your trans yet

pigpin · 11-21-2014, 08:18 AM
