Default OH NO, Here I go again....

My mission, which I have no idea why I have choosen to accept it to build my 400 dollar s-10 into a 10 second project cheapo build....
So far, I have been doing alot of mock up on this build and here are the only teaser pics I have.....
I am running a heavily moddified crossmember allowing me to retain the F body pan.... The column has been relocated to fit these funny looking manifolds... I gotta get some of the cool pics up later tonight.
This is the plan
1 5.3
1 350 turbo rmvb
1 mp t-70
1 part love!

Yep, they do real good, when you hook a turbo to them.

Definitely looking forward to this. The turbo 5.3/6.0 swap is the next into my s10. I did an 86 ext cab with a 400hp 360ci SBC/700r4, a 95 reg cab with the same 360ci SBC/700r4 with a 100 shot. Next I wanna get back to a nice 1st gen, go with a 700hp single turbo 5.3 setup PLEASE post as many pics as possible!
