Default finished ls1/t56 s10

I recently finished my swap and so im gonna post up a few pictures for people out there who are thinking about it. The cost adds up quickly but i will say that it was worth every penny. For now its bolt ons only and a stock tune. Best e.t. is 12.62 at 109.88 for now hopefully i will have a new better time this sunday.

im running a camaro gas tank for better weight distribution




rearend is a ford 8.8 with 3.73, belltech drop springs and caltracs




my center consoles at the body shop getting painted this week

Looks good, im finishing up my 95 s10 with a 5.3/th400. Mine is more drag oriented with a cage and all.

I have a buddy with a cammed 5.3 and t56 in his s10 and that thing is one hell of a street truck.

Nice work...

Truck looks great. I'm in the process of finishing up a 89 S10 Blazer LQ9/4L80 full bolt on with Cam and 8.8/3.73's and 3200 stall. I used many parts from a 99 Vette that was totalled ( Harness/gas pedal/ tac module/Cluster/Intake/accessories) Also threw in a steering box from an 88 Monte Carlo w/Z65 its 12.7/1 much better than stock box. Painting it this weekend in pieces and then putting it back together

If you get your tune dialed in you should make 335-340 I had a simliar set up in my old camaro and it was a good runner. I'd recommend the cam before nitrous since you allready got the headers to make god power with that cam would put you about 360 or a little more and really make that a fun truck btw I like the truck its got a real nice clean look to it

Nice job I like that setup, I am considering a T-56 in my S-10 swap but I'm not sure if I want to cram a clutch into the small cab(I have an 82). I'm 6'1 but the cab already feels too small with the colum shifter. How do you like your clutch setup? You ever feel uncomfortable going through the gears?
