Just curious, what throttle cable did you use? What kind of clearance issues with anything?

Nice clean s10. Love the drag stars, I just ditched my 18's and bought a set. 12's should be no problem with some cal tracs or similar. My nova wheel hops like crazy too.

Thanks... I used the stock crossmember, I just had to cut the slot out a lil farther back and had a custom driveshaft built.. I fabbed up some traction bars myself and it put the truck in the 12's like I wanted.. Here are the videos.. 12.6 and 12.5

Did you use truck accrsory brackets? If so did you have any clearance issues. Also did you use current harness and ecu? Thanks starting on mine in a month or so.

Nice swap....what parts did you use for the intake snorkel? two 90 degree bends? Is there a metal sleeve in between? Or coupler?
do you have sizes and part #s?
thank you,
Doug

I also have a question, did you have to do the cowl hood for the truck intake? Or was it just for appearances? I'd like to use a truck intake but keep the stock hood if possible. Nice looking truck!

anyway you could tell me a list of parts and part numbers. I have the same year truck and I want to do the 5.3 swap. I just want to get the right stuff right out the gate instead of having to do all the trouble shooting for parts
