I like your swap it turned out pretty nice. do you have any milage figures on it yet? Im curious because I've had full sizes with the 4.8 and 6.0 and got considerable gain with the 4.8

So far short highway trips and around town I get just over 23 mpg. I might expect 24-25 on a nice long highway trip

looks factory, i like it alot. I have a soft spot for V8 S-10's. Maybe some day i'll own one.

There is a guy around me that has his 97 S-10 Blazer with an LS1 swap and some Zr1 rims. This thing looks as factory as i can think of. If i had the xtra money i would pick it up

Yeah, I like the factory look they have once installed and everything is cleaned up.
