cmon man, we need pictures!!!

 

I dont have any good pictures everything still dirty.

But its a 2 dr 4x4 blazer
Motor is a 6.0 and I have a 4l80e or I might build a 4l60e that I have 2 sitting in the garage. Should be down to the frame by this up comming weekend.

 

if you are keeping 4x4 what are you doing aboout the oil pan? i havent come up with a good solution, i have the 4.3 out and the 5.3 sitting next to the truck but it looks like im going to have to chop up the truck pan.

 

I got it down the the frame yesterday. I plan on using the Hummer H3 pan. A guy over at s10 forum tried it on his first gen and said it was about 1/4 off, so I plan on using that and a custom motor mount. I plan on using the same motor mount he had just o see if it will clear a 2nd gen and then also try the typical ls1 mounts.

 

You gotta do what you gotta do...

 

how far away are you from test fitting? from the dimensions it doesnt look like it will work, but i guess depending on mounts it may be able to work

 

Another pic...

 

Maybe tomorrow I will get the 4.turd out and set the motor in for a test fit. will see.

 

yay pics!


looks good guys... hey frank, dont forget to put the valves in!! lol

 

Hey frank, are those gbody arms??

 

They are from Speedway. Cheap IMCA arms. They bolt up the same but the back arch is a little different. Should align just fine though.

Sonoma: just mockup pics but you can tell that already

 

on the h3 pan, is there a windage tray used and if so which one

 

Update, with the crossmember cut like it is, the Fbody pan fits and gains a bunch of ground clearance for our build.

 

Frank, what rear end are you using on the truck? I'm in the process of doing my first swap and looking for pointers.

 

Ford 9" with Moser 33 or 35 spline gun drilled axles. It's narrowed about 1.5" per side from factory. We're using 10" whels with 3.5" BS. Already have them but I can't remember which spline (I think 33)

 

they are 35, and gun drilled/star flanged frank. U know how danny is, I had to take the plasma cutter away from him. lol the 35's was lighter or the same weight as the stock 28 spline. its been a while since we put it together for the dodge.

 

Good luck with the H3 pan. Let me know how it works for you.

If it doesn't work, TurboTime makes a pan for that application.

I did my swap before the H3 or TurboTime pans were available. And although most of the photos in my CarDomain site don't show the front diff (it was removed for servicing), there is one, and it does fit.

For a chingo load of pictures (30or so) is it better to host them all on photobucket then post the link here to access them. I got the exhaust finished up last night and finally am ready to post a bunch of them. Well that is my friend that has a shop in town did and finished the exhaust.

 

ya much better and more people will be able to see them
