I've been making some calls and doing some figuring, while dodging tropical storms. The larger axle tubes (3") should not be a problem it's just a matter of putting the right end on them the ends give you some versitilaty. So I'm working on it I am gonna have a major distraction here in a couple of weeks soon. My first kid is due. So things are gonna get back burnered for a lil bit. But I'm still gonna get it done.

 

Hey does anybody know if a Maggie fits under the stock S-10 hood on top of a LSx?

 

i'm not sure. i want the new kenne bell for mine. never gonna happen though.

 

Looks like it does http://www.s10forum.com/forum/showth...1+supercharger

 

Heres another one I found dont know if he post on here.
Its a 6.0 with the turbo from a duramax <---- thats what i was told

 

Looks like the Maggies got a lot of room. That 6.0 wit tha turbo looks hot with the GTO covers.

 

yikes!

 

do these trucks actually drive everyday ?anyone?

 

I don't see why not. The one with the Maggie especially it is a pretty standard set up. Alot of people have tried to tell me I was crazy to want to put an LSx in a
S-10 but my Blazer. It has a wheel base 1/2 inch shorter than a 4th Gen Camaro although the track width is narrower but what ever to that also the Blazer weighs more than all of them (3800 lbs stock but mine is allready about 250 lbs lighter) it's got the right set up RWD and enough room for a V8 perfect if you ask me although I still wish I bought the Camaro SS.

 

would it be any harder or easier to do a cammed 5.3 swap into a 99 blazer.

 

Harder or easier than what?

 

than an ls1? it would be the same really. its the same motor externally really, minus a few accessories and such. you're going to have to go through the same issues.

 

TTT..... Hate to see this thing get to page 2 but I don't have anything important to add.

 

page 2? dude were on page 26

 

I'm talking about when you go to conversions you gotta go to the second page of threads.

 

ok I gotta a question.
How about using the corvette oil pan? I heard its i guess not as deep and has fins to keep cool.

 

the "batwing" i dont think it would work.

 

I found out that there are two different stock coil packs on the ls motors if you use the 19005218 coil packs you do not have to relocate the back coils on each side. I got lucky and scored a full set with the brackets for less than $35.

 

I believe the Vette pan goes too far forward.

 

the vette pan will not work unless you plan on moving your firewall back about 8" or so. It won't even start to fit. If you look in this thread I posted some stuff on fitment. I used all f-body stuff, even the oil pan but i also change to a rack and pinion so that I could run the alternator. Hope this helps. I just ordered stuff to build my 9" I'll post pics when I get it done. 2 10-bolts in less than 200 miles wasn't cutting it anymore
