I don't think they mount up the same (these were used in 1st gen s10's mainly)but I'm sure they would work with some slight alterations

well before I took my 92 apart it never overheated. It would get hot when it was 110 outside and i had the A/c on while idleing for like 10 minutes. But with good electric fans,cowl hood, and a coolant addative I don't think it will be a big problem. But I guess we'll see. I'm just kinda hoping i dont have to buy another radiator. I've already sank alot of money in this project and working part time while going to highschool...one can only make so much money...lol

I'm going with a fuel cell....I'm not sure with the truck accesories? I just know the alternator hits the steering box on the camaro bracketry, so as long as the alternator isn't there.

I'm using truck accesories but you have to modify the power steering part of it to clear the steering box. I have work at a macine shop so i did it my self. Here are some pics (kinda hard to see, sorry). I used the stock 2.2 steering pump and had a custom line made.

I'm using a modified silverado pump in mine but i think the 4.3 will work.

Using F-body accessories and stock sending unit from my 4.3 CPI. Though mine is a 1995 and had a CPI motor, the newer motors run the same 3/8 line and around 60psi that is also needed for the LSX motors. Your stock 4.3 pump and line will be fine. I've been using mine for almost a year with no fuel pressure problems at all even with the wet shot of N2O.

I had to build a custom crossmember and cut the ears off to clear my headers.
