Some pics of the mock up. I need to build a mount for the heim so it can be removed easily. The booster is a malibu, the pan is h3, the mounts are carshop. The arms and steering parts came from ub machine.

Took some new pics this weekend but I forgot about the steering through the top. The column wasnt "in" it anyway so probably couldnt see exactly what was going on. (in place just for scaling purposes)
It looks alot like that picture, except through the header tubes, and it goes through the crossmember.

can you say sumbeach!!!! Hey Frank , I seen you had a plate where the brake booster was i done the same thing and used a willwood manual mc and the pedal is ROCK hard! yall thought about pedal ratio? think were going to have to do something there! Any ideas, im thinkin move the pivot bolt down and redrill it in the truck, then shorten the pedal from the pivot to where the rod hooks but im not sure, was tolt those mc's take a 8:1 ratio...ours is 5:1 i think for power brakes but more leverage should up the ratio i think...

Verdad Gallardo I have about 1" of pedal tavel then it is just gets hard i have to push like hell to get it to stop its got stock front brakes and would stop on a dime on a 109 mph pass with the power brakes. older s-10s stopped fine with manual brakes i think its got to do with the pedal but i dunno..
I have a 2000 Reg Cab Sonoma 2.2l 1 tire fire w/ 141,000 miles. Also have a spare ls1 longblock and 4l60-e trans in my garage.... i think its itching to find a new home under the hood of the sonoma. I've researched this a few times but still have some more questions if you guys could help me out. I know i want to run C5 vette accesories.
1.) For the 4l60-e, do i want the f-body tailshaft?
2.) What type of trans crossmember are you running?
3.) Any driveshaft shortening needed?
4.) Whats the go-to rear-end to get a limited slip setup? Stock f-body rear ends work?
5.) What are you using for computer and wiring harness?
6.) Whats the best oil pan ATM, i know some use vette pans and truck pans... whats the one to go with?
7.) Are you using the stock AC system, or the C5 ac accessories?
8.) What are some nice headers that fit the conversion nicely?
Thanks!

Just curious, after looking at my '99 F-body manifolds today and pondering while i had nothing better to do. Will a set of F-body shorties fit our trucks? I cant imagine they would be too far off, maybe fit with a little persuasion?
Anyone tried it? Sorry if its been discussed, i cant remeber everything in this thread.

This is a set of BBK shorties with 1-3/4" primaries. The tubes look like they tuck pretty tight for steering shaft clearance, and clearance isn't much of an issue on the passenger side, as long as the flange clears the firewall and leaves room to route a pipe off it....i think it may work.
These edelbrocks with 1-5/8" primaries look like the tuck pretty tight too. You may have to hack off the flange on them and weld an extension like on the stock manifolds..but for the bigger primaries, it may be worth it.

for the price to try the f-body headers you can get the sanderson shorty ls1/s-10 headers for $225, they fit very good and come with collectors
