lt1s10onair · 07-03-2008, 03:02 PM

not to pick apart anything, but that breather on the throttle body is gonna make it run like shit.... ur technically lettin in a leak after the maf..... nice tho

lee-mill · 07-03-2008, 03:14 PM

looks good

truefire04 · 07-03-2008, 03:21 PM

motor is a 95 lt1 from a firebird formula truck runs great.....the only thing thats not working is the fuel gauge, and the cheep gauges that i got from summitracing......dont buy summit brand gauges....i have an autometer speedo, and fuel gauge, i had a autometer tach that i recalibrated for the v8...i know i get 250mpg....truck is a 98 s10 ex cab. can i just plug that line? and i dont know why the fuel gauge is not working, i dont know if the sender is bad or not.....it worked before the swap, but after it did not. and that was with the stock gauges.

JonathanMaples · 07-03-2008, 03:53 PM

ooo thats the where the pcv line went my bad i took a closer look.. ya hes right ur letting in un metered air u can just cap it off or go to a yard and get the pcv line most yards i go to wont charge for junk like that..

truefire04 · 07-03-2008, 03:58 PM

no it was hooked to the valve cover i didnt have a good hose to put on is so i put that on. the truck runs great.

i think you mean 25 mpgs, but is that true? I am having a t56/lt1 swapped into my truck right now and i wonder wat mpgs it would get.

o ok...i am doing the lt1/t56 six speed in my swap. Mine is also a std. cab, so i should have alittle less wieght than you especially since from wat i remember the first gens are lighter than the second gens to begin with.

I am also installing a 02 blazer rear with 3.42 gears and disc brakes. I am hoping for 18 avg. mpg, and 20+ hwy

llorracs93s10 · 07-03-2008, 05:01 PM

btw, you got any exhaust clips?

truefire04 · 07-03-2008, 05:17 PM

JonathanMaples · 07-06-2008, 03:31 PM

did you keep the 4x4? thats a nice swap. if u kept the 4wheel u got any pics of where u ran the pipe after the header and the front drive shaft?

Blazin_Jason · 07-06-2008, 03:36 PM

Can I get some info on your remote oil filter setup? What parts did you use, no leaks?

Formulakid1 · 07-06-2008, 05:09 PM

I was running my oil filter just like My598.

It's just a remote oil filter kit from summit or jegs, but I used -8 an lines for my hoses.

It works great.....but mine started leaking after about 3 years of use....so I just relocated it to where the oil filter stood up like normal.

JonathanMaples · 07-06-2008, 07:48 PM

my598 · 07-06-2008, 08:17 PM
