Sounds like some good times.
I don't think I would call it a junk motor though.

This is definitely a clean and very nice truck. That motor does look like it was put in there by GM right out of their factory. I hope you don't have to sell it. That's something you should keep in your family if you can. Nice ass truck man.

Thanks for the complements!
At this time I'm not planning on selling it. But its been done for awhile now and its completed so........?
When I do decide to let it go I will post it here.

Thats a sweet truck you got there. That big block does look like it came from the factory like that! I can tell you put a lot of work under the hood to make it look clean. Very nice!

[1993S10V8]

Hey guys whats up!
Thanks for all of the.....huh...comments, somebody must have been drinking.

The tailgate letters are GM that came on the 92 Silverado Sport pickups.

Yea I like to compliment someone who does a nice job on their trcuk because I know how much work it takes to get a truck like the one you have. I have done many trucks but not as nice as yours and there were many days and nights working on them.

Did you get that sticker from the dealer? I would like to get one as well.

[BlazerKydd]

Man, I've got to tell ya, i never in a million years ever thought that a big block would fit into an s10 without sacrificing all the good and just makin the truck all engine. My first truck was an 85 s-10 blazer with the 2.5 iron duke motor, did great offroad, but anything but that, well, 73 mph downhill with the wind to your back was about all it had. blew 2 engines out of that thing. but i have an internal love for these little critters, i always have. Before i was deployed, I purchased a 455 Buick engine with a turbo 400 connected to it in hopes to build a muscle car when i returned. but after consideration, i decided that i would be happier with another s-10, but built this time. so i thought the engine was lost and i would have to sell it. NOT ANYMORE. thanks to you, i can save the engine and have a kick ass little truck. and i've got to tell ya, that 400 is tucked in tighter than a 4 year old on christmas eve. i can't stop staring at the picture of the engine compartment. its just gorgeous. looks great, beyond great, but i am going to quit takin up space on your page here, just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.
ANDY
P.S: really waitin on more pictures man, that little truck is just sweet.

I did get it from the dealer.....but that was back sometime ago. They may be able to get them. You would be suprised at what the dealer can still get.
If not, anyone that makes decals should be able to handle it. A buddy of mine had some smaller 454 SS decals made for his S-10 from a pencil rubbed template that he made from his fullsize 454 truck. They turned out really nice and fit the bedsides of the S-10 great.

No problem Andy, glad you like it, like I said before, I'm glad that people enjoy checking it out.
I haven't seen any done to the extent that I did it. Most people are looking for something quick.
I wanted to be able to cruise in it, and wasen't so much concerned about how fast it was.
Good luck with your project.

[BlazerKydd]

Hey Tim,

I've decided that I'm just not going to have the time or the resourses to accomplish what you have done. I'm going to go with a 383 from blueprint engines instead. Thanks for your help though.

I'm sure you will have just as much fun with it, and will run just as fast.
