After driving the full size 4200 pound extended can Sierra that the 4.8 is coming from I forgot how much fun it was with that truck. 3.42 gears and no 1st gear on the Trans, the s10 is probably gonna run ghard as hell for a 4.8. Now I'm all excited.

Current performance has no shipped my MFn motor mounts for some reason. Called him today and he said no. It's like really? Ordered that last freakin Friday.... Thanks for holding up my world...

I don't think you'll have to notch the heater box. Only the blazers have to that I've seen since they are higher. its just really close.

Well that would be sweet.

My buddy I sold my built t56 to for 1000$ is supposed to give me his stock t56. As of right now, should have been brought to me in December. No contact or anything about delivery. Then I asked what's up in January, he said weekend after next, call him after that because no update and I'm starting to get pissed off and now he says this Sunday. I have the feeling I'm just going to be pushed off till it's convenient for him. I should have sat on the built t56 after he have me the cash and just use it till he brought me the stock unit to swap out. But being friends and all....

Alright, Trans is here. All I need now is my motor mounts to show up. Probably get started next weekend.

Must not have liked seeing being run down on a public forum like this... Or the guilt of being an *** got to him.

I had to lose my ac box and now have a heater only box ready to go into my S10. But I will have to chase down wiring cause I got ticked one day and cut it..

just grab you a couple of pre-made NOS lines to go from the regulator to the carb.

If it wasn't for the nitrous system, I would have just ran one -6AN off each side of my holley regulator to each end of the carb.

BUT, alas, that did not work out. and neither did my second -4AN line fitting for the other end of the nitrous feed line!! I was about ready to change that side over to -6AN because of this one end!! If it leaks so much a dribble, I am going to be buying a plug and running a different route for fuel to the solenoid, or changing it over to a pre-made one from NOS.

Going to run rubber line for now. The braided steel will come later. I may use some metal line and rubber hose to connect it.

I've had to spend the last 3 days out in the cold working on Moms F150, only to find a bad fuel pump...

I would have had my fuel system installed and ready to put gas in if it weren't for that. I took the tank out and set it in the bed, I think there will be enough room for the battery and nitrous bottle on either side. But I still have to get a piece of metal tube for the battery cut off arm to pass through the tailgate cleanly.

Not much left to do, just the tedious stuff that will start costing chunks of money..

The cold is stopping me from doing anything right now. I don't like laying on my back in the cold on the garage floor.
