just FYI, 3rdgen fbody brakes are the same thing as the "traditional" S10 ones hes refering to above.

ive met Ed and known him online even longer, good guy and he makes great brake parts. even if you just need the hubs or the brackets, i highly reccomend getting it from him... unless you can make your own..(not too hard with a lathe)
when the site goes back up, look at the brake setups on www.thirdgen.org .. theres ALOT of info there about it.

 

yeah also if you got to the C5 thread at S-seriesforum it has a link to his yahoo photos that has the pics of most of his kits.

 

alright cool..i found the link
now i'm kinda curious as to what process you guys went through as far as markup goes for the oil pan.wanna set the engine in this weekend, just trying to get a good idea of how to go about it. looking to mark up for the truck pan, what did you guys find easiest to do, engine in with the pan, or without the pan on?

 

Just wondering on a couple of things, has anyone tried to use the 98-99 fbody midlength headers, or the manifolds from the 5.3 silverado? Also what are the issues with the f body acc brackets and a 99 s10?

 

You mean like these It looks kinda close other than the collectors and by the time you modify the collectors it probably wouldn't be any better than the jtr/headman headers. And as far as manifolds go it doesn't take much to make the 98-99 fbody manifolds work

 

Yeah but wouldn't those flow better than manifolds?

 

If you look at where the F-body Acc puts the alternator you'll see....The alternator mounts way down low, right in the same spot the steering box is. The 2 items really shouldn't occupy the same space....

Dreamin says so matter of factly...LMAO

 

so this list here is everything you need to change to the c5 drive for to fit the s10? and where it says same as f-body, im assuming that means that stuff is the same if you got an ls1 from an f-body?

Yup I ordered a bunch of brackets and bolts from gmpartsdirect a month ago and got them yesterday.As far as I remember the part #s are all good just don't forget the alternator/ps pump bracket 12578068

 

im glad im not running ac that cuts the list and the price in half!

 

do you think the s10 alternator would work??

 

i got the 2.8 mounts and i left the stock 4.3 mounts on the frame and i cant get them to quite line up which way do they go?

 

I ordered the ls1 swap book from current performance a few weeks ago and still have nothing. I also emailed them to see if they knew when it would be here and no response. Anyone else have any contacts with them??

 

umm dude ur suppose to chop the 4.3 mounts off and attach the 2.8 to the frame and then use the stock ls1 mounts to mount them to the 2.8 ones

 

the swap book isnt sold directly through current performance its sold by v8s10s.com

 

Not sure but i will be trying it. Anything works with a little fabrication. just make brakets to go from the vette braket to your alt. it would save alot of money if you didnt have to buy the vette one

 

Just trying to add a little humor....Even if it is somewhat subtle....

look back in this thread i posted pics.

 

Anyone know what the oil capacity is on the modified truck pans?
