Thanks man. Not really, most of the piping isnt near the radiator so it shouldnt be an issue.

Nice build man! I swapped a 5.3 in my 89 s10. I am running a carb now but am saving up for fuel injection and turbo swap. I will be watching this to see how it goes when your all done. Keep up the good work!

I finally figured out my photobucket woes lol..so heres another update

Since im not running power steering i had to fab an idler pulley bracket for the driver's side of the motor. I used the truck pulley that was mounted to the water pump.

I also used the Modular Turbo alternator relocation kit (awesome kit!)

Got the fuel lines ran using an Aeromotive A1000 FPR and -8an lines, also used another Modular Turbo part for my turbo oil feeds. Got those bent up with some -4an fittings and hard line.

I know the motor is really dirty but trust me it will be extremely clean for the final assembly lol.
