You can also use the OEM sensor that came on the engine by selecting custom sensor and use these setting
0.5V = 0 psi
4.5V = 130 psi

I live in Texas, the clean underside is normal for me, what I'm Jealous about
is how CLEAN that shop is.
I'm thinking if you dropped something you would actually have a chance of finding it.

Wow that truck (and all of your work) is fantastic. I'm swapping my '82 S10 right now and you're ahead of me in terms of progress. Hopefully mine turns out even close to yours.

That exhaust is really nice, and looks like what I'm wanting for mine. Any ideas on when it may be available?

Maybe I missed it, but what rear leaf springs are those? At first glance they don't look stock, though maybe I'm just used to seeing my truck's 3 leaf (plus overload) springs.

I don't have a set date but shouldn't be long, the single exhaust kits are 50% complete in production.

3.5" driveshaft arrived today!





I made up a T56 magnum harness so we could keep the reverse lights, VSS, and reverse lockout working

Wow! I love all of these parts your using! God knows they were not available when I did my swap. Glad to see your using a super nice driveshaft. I know I am tired of arguing with people who think a stock shaft is "ok" to use. Thats one of the dumbest things I have seen. I had a shaft fail on me on the dyno and it was aftermarket, just not a nice part. I tried to get away cheap and nearly lost everything over it.
Keep up the great job!

Just to be clear,the fourth gen f-body frame mounts bolt to an LS block?
So presumably one could use a solid frame mount in conjunction with the coming Blackheart frame mount you used?
..say for a drag race application?
Do you have an idea where this places the trans. mounting surface in relation to stock?
When might these Blackheart mounts be available?
Thanks
Dom

The 4th-gen F-body motor mounts are attached to the block, the frame mount brackets were designed specifically for this application to adapt to the 4th-gen F-body motor mounts.

Clarification - the frame mounted brackets work with engine mounts (clam shells and inserts) for 1998-2002 4th-Gen F-Bodies which will fit all LS engines.

Awesome job on the swap bro!!! I have a question... What trans slip yoke are you using? Im using my 2 piece shaft and am looking for a 31 spline slip yoke. Ive narrowed it down to a Sonnax for a ford c6 trans which has 31 splines and 1330 u joints...
