is that a blower on a small block chev? why would you want to get rid of that for a ls1... wouldnt it be pretty comparable in power. Or are you doing up the ls1?

Sorry for all the sideways pics. I don't know why photobucket does that I'll edit them

I drove 3 hours Sunday and picked up a s10 clutch and brake pedal assembly off craigslist. He threw in the stock master and slave too. Due to some serious clearance issues with my headers (pics soon ) I'm thinking I'll have to run the Gto master cylinder and custom make a pushrod for it. Just trying to figure all that out. Don't know if the Gto master and s10 master have the same amount of travel or not. I will upload some pics I did some trading :ninja: lol

Swap is looking good, im currently working on my 95 s10, 5.3 with a T70 mounted in the bed. Hoping to start on the turbo kit fabbing this weekend so i'll update my build thread once i get more progress done.

How are you going to route your charge pipe from the turbo to the intake? I see your gonna run an A2W IC, im interested in how your gonna route all this. Are you going to keep the downpipe routed to in front of the front tire like that?

Keep up the good work...

Thanks bro can't wait to see your pics. I have some hood clearance problems with turbo turned forward so I don't know if I want to chop up my expensive *** harwood cowl. I did however get my front crossmember cut out and re boxed with 1/8 plate today as well as notched a spot in the frame rail to clear the crossover on the passenger side. Also went and picked up a jeep Cherokee steering shaft today to help with header to steering clearances have to cut it down a few inches to make it fit and re weld it.
