Well as promised, after a few weeks of being laid up sick and then being in the hospital...i finally got a video of the truck running...hope you all like it

 

sweet! but can it spin the tires...... lol. if so, we need another vid to prove it!







.

 

haha...ok Ill try and get some of tire smokin

 

sounds good, cant wait to hear mine running, im getting closer........

 

i was wondering...right now i have true duals...from the manifolds back 2.25" pipe into dual magnaflow mufflers then out the back....i was wondering if an H pipe or an X pipe would help the sound and perf at all...any info would be appreciated.

 

congrads.....puts a x on it IF there is enough room to put the right beds on the pipe.if not just do a h,it will help either way

 

nice job, hey do you have the part# for your upper rad hose, that looks close to what i need mike

 

yes it is actually 2 different hoses spliced together...i will try and find the numbers for the hosses...and the the splice is one so the steam vent on the head routes to it....its from JTR but i will try and look for the 2 hose numbers

 

Good God What a monster!!!

 

nice engine and setup witht he S10

 

You used truck coils and brackets right? If so did you have to mod the vette frc's to fit?

 

well i had them on there....and no you dont have to mod the covers...but one burnt out so i had to put back on the fbody ones for now. but they fit under the vette frc's just fine...they are close...but no issues here.

One other question for anyone....i notice in my exhaust....that when i rev it up....as i let off the gas and it comes down to idle...the exhaust creates a crazy amount of shaking...like the whole truck wobbles just before it gets back to idle...could this be because of it being true duals...plus it has no flex point in the system....it goes from the flanges one pipe to the muffler...welded....then welded pipe out to the tips....so maybe its that...or could it be also becasue i have no H or X pipe in it...i sure hope someone could help...cause it isnt so much a problem...just drives me crazy feeling it.

OK Jake the SSnake...here is my best description of how i made the upper hose..actually 2 seperate hoses. Napa part numbers Upper Rad Hose NBH-8721 and NBH 7554 and then I used the JTR LS1 hose coupler with built in steam vent and air bleeder petcock. you have to cut the ends off of the hoses...the 8721 hose you have to cut the zigzag end off and the 7554 hose you have to cut the 1.5" ID side off...since it is a 1.25 to 1.5 elbow. I put a pic up of the best i can describe it...hope it helps. Any more ? just ask

I didn't ask about that.
But I'm glad I have it now .I think I need an extra hdd to store all my ls1 s10 info.

 

Oh man....where was I when i wrote thatl...i guess that is what I get for trying to to something while i am all doped up on pain pills. So word to the wise...dont drill a hole throough your hand....pop loritab 10's....then try to reply to someones question....haha cuase you reply to the wrong person But oh well...the info is here at least...

 

nice...tight fit...but looks really good...

 

Any LS or V8 for that matter is a tight fit in a dime.

 

that is the motor gm should have put in the SS Sdimes .you have to get some video of you driving it around and kicking on it some for us s-10 lovers .i had a 84 we rebuilt like you and put a 305 in loved it but it sure as hell aint no ls1 .great work man please keep us posted
