is there a place that makes blank inlays for where the stock guages go so i can cut out the spots for all new guages in the stock dash location? or what is the best way to replace your guages since aparently they will no longer work after pulling out the ECM.
Thanks Tom |

Easiest way is to lay cardboard behind it and the area out. Then transfer that over to 1/16th sheet metal or aluminum. Then place where you want the gauges and start cutting.

I just got done swapping a 350 in place of the 4.3 in my '91 S-10 Tahoe 4x4. 2 days ago as a matter of fact. I however went carb. I didn't want to do a fuel injected motor. I don't like them. Anyways, I left my trany in the stock location, (700R4), and bolted the new motor to the tranny. I then measured up for my mounts, and made those. I bolted in the mounts, and all was well. I bought an oil pan from advance adapters, (because of the front end clearance issues with the 4wd, and I also got some of their slick fit headers. i was less than impressed with the parts. Whole swap took me 2 weeks. I had hoped to have it done in a weekend, but motor problems forced other arrangements. Here are some pics.
Here is the pass. side motor mounting area And the driver side.... (turn monitor 90 deg. counter clockwise to view..) Firewall clearance ![]() |

I have heard of people using the 4.3 prom/tbi, but i'm going to get a prom chip out of a truck with a 350. also i am using the 4.3 throttle body so i am buying 5.7 injectors for it(the 4.3 and 5.7 tbi's are identical accept for the injectors). I am going to weld up my own oil pan. I am also using all the accessories off of the 4.3. I will hopfully be done soon and have some pics. |

I am glad i do not have to worry about emissions here in Buffalo. My truck doesn't even have any catalytic convertors. You have to regulate the fuel somehow, and what simpler way to do it than with a carb. I like carbs because I don't need to chhange the computer to change the way it runs.... I know you don't need a computer on everything, but a TBI only flows so much fuel.... :headbang: |

I have to pass emmissions too. TBI 350 will pass right? As long as it was a 4.3? Also 350*sBlazer, what are you doing to the trans to beef it up? Exhaust?

if you have the money you can get some flow out of tbi(for ex. the holly tbi 9000 commander, edelbrock mpfi manifold that plugs into existing tbi wiring)but it is expensive Last edited by 350*s-blazer : 09-25-2003 at 02:10 AM. |

''What's the difference between the 700R4 and the TH350?''
700R4 is a computer module controled, 4 spd with OD tranny 350TH is a 4 speed tranny, vaccum controled. At least thats what I think the difference is, please correct me if i am wrong. |

Is there any way that you can swap in an 5.7L LS-1 Corvette engine?

Nope.
Keep in mind that there are 26 AND 28 spline rearends around. The 28 spline units are quite a bit tougher. |

Not sure about the 93s but I know radiators from the 84-89 vette work. You can try the Genuine Corvette Radiator. I bought the Stealth Conversions Radiator just because it's a little cheaper. According the v8s10.com, they both cool the same. Last edited by 95s10ss : 11-09-2003 at 05:08 PM. |

I've been running the stock 7.5 10 bolt in my truck for about 3 years now with only a mini spool and haven't had the first problem out of it. My truck has gone 10.49 @ 126mph with a 1.48 60 ft so they will hold up.

Got allot of questions for you.Would be easier to talk over the phone but here goes.
I have a 97 S10 that I am wanting to install an ls1 into. I have the ls1 and everything need to make it run. So no need there. This truck will not see the street.(ok maybe on occasion)So no need for ac,or smog junk. If I can get all the info together and find out where to get some items this truck will be a prostreet/back halfed truck. What type of radiator to use? Anyone make tubular a arms? Tubular k members? 4 link coil over system with ford 9" specifically for the s10? I will get the axles and gears myself. Who makes a full cage?Including the x brace through the back window? I could just have one made but if someone prefabs them would be easier. Is there enough room when ls1 is installed for a set of long tubes? If so who makes them?If custom where? Fiberglass front end clip? I would like one that is complete. Just hinged front end. Fiberglass bed? I know where to get the tub kits and could have my body shop make some for the fiberglass bed. I guess I will stop there for now. Hopefully I will get some answers and not any flaming.lol If anyone wants/needs credentials just pm me. I am really just wanting as much info as I can find out to pass on to the builder. And trying to help him in any way possible. And to see if this will be feasible. I dont want to put my 408 in a vehicle and have to suffocate it with log exhaust manifolds.lol. TIA Chris |
