Default Black S-Dime Project...

started gathering the parts for my lsx swap about a month ago, and figured it was about time to put up a build thread:

the victim: S-10 SS 50,xxx original miles, second owner.


have since undercoated frame, pics to come

sold beat up bed to a buddy, found one at a junk yard in much better condition

interior is completely gutted, wasnt my choice, its how i bought it

however, i have all the parts, including screws, fasteners etc

time for the good stuff:
5.3 with 50,xxx miles and ls1 intake (still needs to be cleaned up and painted)



tsp torquer v2 cam


PAC 1518 springs, and thunder racing comp push rods with a ls2 timing chain


also have a TH350 and a TCI street fighter with a 3800 stall...

wheels: courtesy of winger4800 -


also plan on buying longtubes in the near future
more to come... should be getting cam in this weekend and hopefully get the motor painted up.
