That is the cleanest conversion i have ever seen. The 5.3 looks right at home between s-10 frame rails. I hope to do a 6.0 or 5.3 conversion on a 95' s-10 set-up for bracket racing.

One question about it....what A/C relocation is that....is that a Sanden 508. And how much room is there around it....I have a 1994 S10 that is 95% complete...but I still have to work out the A/C stuff...and I like that look you have there. Also what did you do with the 2 rear coil packs?? Truck looks awesome....I hope mine turns out that well.

So you used the round style truck coils and bracket...and you were able to clear the Brake Booster and the A/C box without any problems. What year did yours come from....cause if that is the case...i am going to find me some of those.

Very nice looking. Only hope my Bravada will look 1/2 as good when I'm done.
Question: What changes did you have to make to the fuel system (specifically fuel pump)?

haha...one more question....what did you do about the oil pan. Did you use a truck pan....so it hangs down about 2" or did you have it modified. I am wondering because mine hangs down about 2" and it kinda worries me. Thank for all the great help.
