Redsdime · 07-31-2009, 10:10 PM

mknight759 · 08-03-2009, 10:04 AM

I purchased everything from jared at current performance <he is very helpful > I think I have around 700 in the brackets and the a/c comp the best i can remember

vandejr · 08-04-2009, 09:47 AM

what kind of waterpump is that ls1? and the alternator bracket looks somewhat like a c5 bracket. just wondering if everything lines up for the belt?

yes its a ls1 waterpump it all lines up nice i hope it all works it was kinda expensive in my opinion

Petro · 08-04-2009, 01:34 PM

That's about how much it costs for a brand new accessories with A/C from GM and other sites...

mknight759 · 08-13-2009, 10:15 PM

just an update finally started on the teardown this morning anybody need a good 4.3 engine trans and all acc going cheap

mknight759 · 08-14-2009, 08:43 AM

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

could he be talking about a camaro ss not an s10

CODE4LS1 · 08-14-2009, 12:59 PM

I think he means Camaro SS

gmullin · 08-14-2009, 05:52 PM

i would guestimate u have somewear between 350 and 375 to the wheels so i would say low 12s to high 11 with a good set of tires

ok were moving right on along got the a/c fiberglassed up after several hours < fiberglass sucks > looks good though everything seems to be fitting fairly well up to this point i had the transmount mount hole in the crossmember milled out so i was able to use it. The engine and trans bolted in for good i hope. I will be working some more on installing the cpw radiator in the core support in the next few days

NCRides · 08-23-2009, 10:52 PM

looking good...I see you have the sanderson shorties if thoses are the bolts that came with them do yourself a favor and replace them. Mine rusted just sitting in the garage so I replaced them with stainless bolts from Totally Stainless

platour22 · 08-27-2009, 04:18 AM

I fixxing to buy that same alt/ps bracket. Can you tell if it sits higher than the intake, and if so how much. My truck bracket/w alt hit the hood.

mknight759 · 08-27-2009, 09:01 AM

well i have the ls6 intake and the top of the alt is even with the top of the throttle body hope that helps

platour22 · 08-27-2009, 04:01 PM

yea man makes me feel a little better. As of right now i have the ls6 intake also, but looking to sell and get fast. Don't want to whore your thread but heres pics with the factory truck bracket you can see how high it sits.

mknight759 · 08-27-2009, 09:19 PM

big difference in the money going from a used ls6 intake to the fast my opinion would be to get it running before spending another 900 but its your money i know i have way more in mine than i was planning on

platour22 · 08-28-2009, 01:10 AM

yeah i probably will. another thing, is there a reason you put you pulleys on the kwik a/c kit the opposite way than they do.

mknight759 · 08-28-2009, 08:48 AM

well i put them on wrong i found that out when i tried to install the belt

platour22 · 08-29-2009, 01:53 AM

Ok. Didn't wanna say you did it wrong. Thought they could be a reason behind.

mknight759 · 08-29-2009, 09:36 PM

ok put a little more of it together ordered all the fuel fittings and hoses then modified the 4.3 throttle bracket to fit and looked at the exhaust. The exhaust looks like it is going to be tough to get it started really tight around the headers the driveshaft is going to have to be shortened and somehow fish the wiring harness in there + I posted a pic of the old dog

platour22 · 08-29-2009, 11:51 PM

looking good man. Wish i was as far along as you

mknight759 · 09-01-2009, 02:11 PM

ok a few more parts showed up for the fuel system then dropped the driveshaft off have to get it shortened by 1" then sent out the computer to jared we getting closer by the day

mr spree · 09-01-2009, 02:13 PM

why do you have two filters? just curious

mknight759 · 09-01-2009, 02:27 PM

i got the idear from someone else on here looked easy to hook up and you will never have to replace the one with the regulator in it

http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f213/f...-lines-411940/

Iroc-10 · 09-02-2009, 08:36 PM

Is your alt really sitting that high, or is it just the angle of the pic? I thought the truck alternator normally fits and allows the hood to close. What did you spray on the a/c box after the fiberglass work? Looks like a nice project. I can't wait to get my harness and get started on my own.

platour22 · 09-02-2009, 09:43 PM

I think you may be looking at my pic there iroc. Truck acc/w alternators usually fit in the trucks, but blazers motors sit a little higher.

I sanded the high spots off of the fiberglass then shot it with a coat of that spray in truck bed lining then painted it with black engine paint it looks pretty good to me

mknight759 · 09-07-2009, 01:51 PM

ok we headed off to the exhaust shop in the morning I think my little nissan has about all its gonna want

Petro · 09-07-2009, 01:55 PM

What's your plans for exhaust??? mufflers , routing...etc

mknight759 · 09-07-2009, 07:48 PM

just going to let him do the best he can I want true 2-1/2 or 2-1/4 duals with the flowmasters

LS2Sonoma · 09-07-2009, 08:17 PM

lookin good so far... only one problem, we need more pictures!!

ps. nice shop you have

mknight759 · 09-07-2009, 09:11 PM

thanks the shops a little small my wife thinks its a storage closet i'm not much of a picture taker but when it gets back i'll get some more posted up

Very TRUE!!!!!!!!!! mine were rusted sittin in the garage before my swap was even done!!!!!!

I got excited at first cuz they looked like ARP's or something. Not true though.

Scrap · 09-11-2009, 01:37 PM

Nice build, pulling all that with a Nissan p/u looks a little hairy!

-SS

mknight759 · 09-11-2009, 02:30 PM

yea it had a load but it did ok just have to be carefull and try not to have to make any sudden stops its even a 4cyl but it has enough power just not enough weight to try and pull that all the time

mknight759 · 09-11-2009, 04:59 PM

ok a few pics of the exhaust and fuel setup

mr spree · 09-11-2009, 08:24 PM

whats the fitting size on the stock filter?

mknight759 · 09-11-2009, 09:01 PM

its a 3/8 line

mknight759 · 09-12-2009, 09:12 PM

ok pulled the relay turned it over a few times then installed relay and she fired right up its getting close to drive time its kinda loud with the flowmasters but maybe its cause its in my shop we will see here in a week or two i'll be ready to drive it out instead of pushing it around

mr spree · 09-12-2009, 09:45 PM

can you get any videos of her runnin!?
