Xtreme LS6 Take 2

[LowSub]

Some of you will remeber this truck, I have already post pictures in the past

it's the xtreme of my friend "silver" on the forum.

I will post update and picture for him because he don't really have the time to do it. oh and because im a pic whore

Silver have a lot of project for the truck but it's not really clear.

but for the moment the project is:

-Put down the T-56 for a rebuilt stage II
-new clutch. Stock LS1 is now dead he will put a LS7 one maybe
-2" drop spindle (blazer)
-2" drop bloc
-4 new shock
-bumper to bumper polyurethane bushing. Made by energy suspension
-put the battery in the bed

he think about Z06 brake and seat but it's not sure

The goal for the moment is to fix the horrible vibration in the drivetrain, and get maximum traction

the best time on 1/4 was an horrible 14.3 but 108 mph! because of traction issue and slippy clutch

I think the setup is already capable oh high 12"

some old pics of past summer











An old vid of the project! + a little burnout

wanna trade tires?

I love the interior of that truck

[LowSub]

too late, tires are already on rims

they have a beefy look. I like it, not streched like the old one

I hope traction will be there

[mwbills]

nice..... Id like to see more pictures of the under the hood setup...Nicetruck

[s10-den]

Very nice I have watched those vids over and over....lol

[chevysten]

Nice truck! I like those wheels too!What size and what model are the wheels?

[dart_06]

very nice truck!! sounds good too!

[Kampz69]

interior is perfect. ive always loved this truck

[philntx]

I agree, those seats are a great match for the interior.

[Kampz69]

X2...I remember when I was researching consoles for the T56 swap..I wanted something that looked stock and was clean/streamlined...I was figuring out how much further back the shifter was etc...and then I was looking at consoles and getting measurments...Finally figured it out then BAM...He pops up with it already done!!!haha ...At least it confirmed my findings and looks damn good....

[s10-den]

Looks like the stock auto console and he cut the plastic out... What was the other one everyone was using, the 97 and cutting the cupholders out?

[Kampz69]

i dont think he cut anything, looks like he used the existing hole in the floor shifter. most use the 97ish console and remove the cup holders. i like the way this looks better, but thats just me.

[Barry]

Id research Monster clutches and forget the LS7 unless your on a budget. That thing sounds amazing and I learned french/german while watching the video! thnks.

[Sleeper S10]

both of your s10's are slick! good luck on your project.

Yeah it's a Auto Floor Shift console and the T56 shifter comes up right where the auto shifter sits....

I really appreciate it

Your S10 also is very nice

[LowSub]

We started working on the S10 sooner than expected

My other friend whit the blue jimmy come to give some major help tonight

-remove battery
-remove air filtrer - trying to made a cold air in the future
-brake and caliper disassembled
-Putting down the t-56 was alot more work than expected.


Here is some pics of the night



Battery relocation kit


Bushing kit


Shim kit (to fix vibration)


toasted Clutch!


finally out

[turbobandit]

YOU REMOVED THE TRANNY THE HARD WAY!!!!!!

did you know its easier to just leave the bell housing on the block, and unbolt the transmission from the bell housing?

Once the tranny is out, it's much easier to get at the bellhousing upper bolts. also, it's easier to get the input shaft in and out of the clutch by unbolting it this way.


Its ok, i used to do the same thing... then a friend told me of this bright idea. I kicked myself in the butt because he made me feel like a dumba$$ haha

[LowSub]

Nice to know! thanks for the tips!! It will be pratical when the time will come to put it back

Getting acces to top bolt was not the biggest part of the work

Clear the headers and the floor of the cab was a hell of job

We lifted the cab to give more room. We already have to remplace the bushing anyway

I will use the Belltech lowering spindles,does he have a kit to fit this combo?

[Sleeper S10]

if you have the belltech 2100 spindles for the s10 like me you will have to switch to the 2102 blazer spindles for the adapter. (kore3 does have the bracket)

if your not wanting to do that then you will have to hack your s10 2100 spindles and fylnbye.com can help you with a bracket but good luck getting a hold of them.

[s10studduts01s]

I wish i had paid more attention in French class

[lt4xtreme]

I have a brake conversion bracket kit that will work for you to mount C5 Z06 calipers and rotors onto the Bell tech dropped blazer spindle. Your Xtreme looks almost just like mine. I'm running the C5 Z06 brakes and rims. Love the step shaver kit, first time I've seen it on a red extended cab stepside Xtreme. How well did it fit?
