Question Lowering S10 Swap Front End

1952 GMC on 1993 S10 Chassis. I used new 4.3 air condition coils in the front but now that it is all assembled with motor. The front is about an 1.5 inches to high or at least higher than I want. Do I buy lowered spindles or trim the coils?

Re: Lowering S10 Swap Front End

I lowered an S10 many moons ago. What I did was cut a half a wrap off and see how it sat then cut a quarter wrap off next to get it where it needed to go.

Spindles would be best but i think they are 2 inch drop if i remember right.You could try cutting the coils but do it slowly you can't put it back but always can cut more off lol.

If spindles are an option, do them first.

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.
