PS fits no problems just use either a 300 6 cylinder F100 van pulley or fourth gen 3.8 f- body pulley. they are smaller in diameter and clear the box. The biggest question is are you going to run AC, if you are the box will most likely need to be notched as well as the lower PS of the frame. If not the radiator can be moved forward allowing room for some decent cooling fans.

my crank sensor wire runs extremely close to a plug wire...i wonder if that is causing any weird issues. i also havent wired my alternator yet so the lower voltage could be causing funky things.
here is proof that it moves under its own though. i backed it into the driveway and back into the garage about 10 times just for the hell of it hahaa

These the headers you're gonna run?
http://paceperformance.com/i-8378313...p-headers.html
I almost got them, but had some extra cash so I went longtubes. I bought the 94-03 in frame ones though, don't like the tubes outside the framerail

Yeah Ive read that, brps are just hedmans coated from what Ive read. Instructions with some details on body lifting under the mount kit they sell
http://www.brphotrods.com/mm5/mercha...ory_Code=CNV12
I didn't have to raise the body, it was tight, but the trans/engine went right in
Those 1 3/4 ones only have 1 tube outside frame rail, 1 7/8 have two tubes outside

Id check shipping prices/availabilty on those at pace too, they may *** rape you on shipping, not sure. And they may not have them made yet. It was 30 bucks from brp so shouldn't be much more than that, and took em a month or so to build them

Damn, well, maybe it took a month to coat them? Lol
Sure appreciate the heads up snook, folks like you make projects and this little corner of the site what it is.
I'll do some calling around to them as soon as I have cash. Which should be by the end of the month at the latest.
Trying to figure out if I'm going to use a explorer 8.8 rear as is or have the long side shortened so I can use a more original wheel offset.

When your back is broke you have a lot of spare reading timeThe brp website shows two tubes around the framerail if It matters, so its hard to say for sure. Just read in another s10 forum that one went around, false knowledge is dangerous, lol.

I chatted with the small window at pace performance, said they were out of stock, but could get them in 2 weeks, then ship out for 65 bucks. They asked why my IP dint match a texas account, lol
The explorers are plentiful around here too, so that's probably your best bet. I need to find one for mine
