Default 96 s10 l33 swap

first off i want to say thanks to all members of ls1 tech and preformance trucks.net bc over the past 2 years i have read hundereds of post that made this all come together.

so to start off its a 96 chevy s10 ext cab that had a 4.3 5speed.
what im putting in it is a 05 l33 5.3 with 799 cast heads and 04 t56 6speed out of a gto.

i got a little parts happy so i have already got a long way into the project but i wanted you all to know more about it.

i rebuilt the motor and installed a tsp 220r cam and hardened push rods and ls2 timing chain. toped off with lunadi duel gold valve springs.

on top i put a 96mm typhoon intake and 30# injectors with a FAST 92mm tb.

for the trans is a stock build with a spec stage 2 clutch and f body pro 5.0 shifter.

for the rear i went with a ford 8.8 with 373 limited slip and disk brakes.

the rest is tipical s10 swap stuff like lsx swap shorty headers, frame mounts and motor mounts. and a readiator that fits inside the core subort with duel elc. fans.

ill try up loading pics as soon as i can
