well apparently it doesnt. I mean i could be doing something wrong, probably the case, lol....but i dont know wats happening. First the bolts on the stock pump go through the PS pump and screw into the block, this new one doesnt, it has groves like the bolt screws in it. And the male/female ends are flipped and the one that is near the Alternator hits the alternator. I have no idea wat the hell to do.

While I can't comment on how to fix the issue with that specific PS pump, I can tell you that there are many swaps out there that used the stock PS pump hooked to the stock PS gear on our trucks without issue. Mine didn't have issues until I put brake fluid in the system. DOH!!

Maybe "lt1s10onair" can also chime in and say what he did...

ls1s10onair · 08-14-2008, 07:18 PM

wow, im touched to be called upon lol..... i used the stock lt1 pump, with a camaro (of the same year) pressure line..... itll actuall involve less "tweaking" for you, but it screws right in on both ends.... i hope that helps

really? hmm...i am no expert so dont flame me, but as long as you have the right pressure line for the same pump, like you said ''stock lt1 pump and its pressure lines'', than my steering box shouldnt crap out? I just dont want to have my steering go ''kaboom'' while driving. But if this is true, than it may save me a little cash.

V8Blaze · 08-14-2008, 09:09 PM

yea ive never heard of anyone swapping steering pumps to match a box, all chevy pumps work with chevy box's. Only time you need a lower pressure is for mustang II setups and streed rod shit.

hmm....wonder why the s10v8 site said that it would blow my s10s stock steering box? But i guess as long as you guys say it will, i trust this site more lol....

So like LT1s10onair said, just match the same year pressure line?

ls1s10onair · 08-15-2008, 12:38 AM

that is the biggest pile of crap ive ever heard.... whats gonna blow out the steering box exactly? use the stock pump, and get a stock f-body pressure line.... it doesnt fit exactly.... ur gonna have to bend it around, but obviously it fits the pump.... and it threads right into the pressure side of ur steering box..... if u run it under the oil pan, and mount the reservoir on the driver's side, it makes the job so much easier.... u need to use high pressure hose for the reservoir..... its not a high pressure are, but if you use low pressure "heater hose", the oils will wear out the hoses quite fast

alright sounds good to me thanks alot man.

llorracs93s10 · 08-16-2008, 09:10 PM

Got some stuff done today. Not as much as I wanted to becuase of the damn F'n rear again, but hell, its almost in, lol....Heres wat we got done, intake is on the motor and all, old intake is being cleaned up so i can sell it since i dont need it anymore. The leafs are in, and the rear is in place also. And some presents from Summit just arrived!! Well heres the pics

Engine bay, frame and wheel tubs are cleared, not too bad i dont say

Injectors on and inplace to the new intake,

Reamer and his buddy cleaning the motor up preparing for the new gaskets to be set in place

Intake on for good!

While they were doing that, i was busy on my old rear

new rear set in place

And heres a side project, took the old intake off and started to clean it up to sell it. The intake it self looks a little rough, but a simple scuff up, the fuel rails, the fins, and the underneath came up really nice. So this will be ready soon to be on the market

And look wat arrived at my house when i got home!!

B&M short throw shifter and a 6spd black shifter ball.

Well thats it for today. Tomorrow i am back there to work on it again. Plans are to get the rear done and bolted up, get the core support mod'd for pushing radiator+ condenser forward, and Hotdog will start to work on the Powersteering pump and hopefully the wiring harness.

HectorM52 · 08-16-2008, 09:22 PM

I like the shifter. I'm jealous.

HectorM52 · 08-16-2008, 09:23 PM

And I'm jealous of teh 8.5" rear too. You suck!

well dont get too jealous, its no posi, and its a PITA to put in for me. But the shifter i do like a lot.

Btw, is the engine bay up to par for you? And we have to enclose the a/c box so it is going to have to be painted too. So how hard is it to take off the left hand side of the box.

droptdime · 08-16-2008, 09:51 PM

awesome, looks good

This gets me in the mood to put my dads old 327 that we took out of our Chevelle in my Noma. I mean the motor is just sitting there...why not.

wirrrey21 · 08-17-2008, 01:32 PM

very nice. you should port the intake manifold before you sell it. probably get a few more offers that way.

hmm...i will keep that inmind, i just posted it up on the craigslist and on my other v8 s10 site. How much you think would it beworth if i did/didnt port the intake? Just remember, it will most likely be more close to bare intake and no connections to it vs. a full intake. And it wont have a TB on it either. Anyways, here the pics of it after i just cleaned it up today

this makes it look a hella lot better than how it originally looked right?

ya i hear you, i had a 305 bored out a bit just sitting in my garage where i used to live ready to be dropped in my 85 monte but since it never went in, i was like why not in my truck? But back than i was young and stupid and had no idea and my dad shot me down and that was that. But now that i make money my self, he didnt have a big say in whether i got to do this or not.

llorracs93s10 · 08-17-2008, 07:40 PM

well heres the work i got done today, just bolted the rear up in its position, havent done any brake hoses yet but i will soon....But let me ask you if i got ripped or not, I got the leafs on my truck now that i got from a dude i know. He said that these with 3 inch blocks made his truck just about tuck tire outback. So i figured they are zq8 leafs. Can you guys with zq8 leafs tell me if i ripped or not? And Will, these arent the ones you gave me, i gave them to a buddy thinking these were more than a 1.5 drop leafs, but i think i was wrong....anyways heres the pics of the progress and the leafs i hope i didnt get ripped for.

williambriggs · 08-17-2008, 08:28 PM

U GAVE MY LEAFS AWAY....shame on u..lol

im really sorry i didnt make it out again this weekend. i ended up working on that truck until almost 1am then got up at 8am and worked on it until about 2pm and then said **** it and went home and cut grass lol but i see u got it done without me anyway so thats cool.

It looks pretty good. But pictures lie!!

No, seriously though, it looks pretty good from here.

The A/C box is easy - just a few nuts & bolts to take off. My biggest problem with getting them all off was that one of the nuts was screwed onto a "stud" that was sticking through from the inside of the cab. Well, the weld broke loose and it would just spin & spin. Luckily I was able to get to it from inside the cab and I just tacked it back on. And was able to get it off. If not I would have just cut it off. No big deal!!

You should take it off and clean it up as well as paint under it.

ya i thought the ones i got were 3inch leafs....but i believe they arent. I would have kept urs cuz these look like stock leafs, dont they?

And i do wish you wre there, didnt get the core support touched yet. And the rear still needs the hosses to be attached, so its not done yet.

thanks for the compliment, lol....but ya he is going to sheetmetal the hole shut so we are going to paint it. He says flat black, i dunno about that since nothing is flat blck in there. I figure glssy black like the firewall and frame. what do you think?

Well what you all think, blower box flat black, glossy black to match the frame, firewall and wheel tubs, or what do you think?

556mm · 08-17-2008, 09:41 PM

glossy

llorracs93s10 · 08-18-2008, 08:53 PM

well today i came to conclusion that i am going to paint the a/c box flat black, the clutch master cylinder flat black, and maybe one other thing. Other than taht, you see how it is now, and thats how it will stay.

As for updates, i got the rest of the rear sprayed, had forgot to spray the center part that sits in the hole of the hub. So i took the rear calipers and hte rear caliper brackets off and sanded and sprayed them black like the rest of the rear. Besides that, i blasted the caliper brackets since i idid a shitty job a few months back on them and now they look really good. And lastly, for me, i got done bringing back the old intake to a nice looking intake. The fuel rails look great IMHO....i should have kept these. I have the pics below of them, but keep in mind i havent polished thm up at all, just wet sanded them.

As for hotdog, he was busy remounting the PS pump, and setting up the wiring for the spark plugs. Other than taht, tommorw i have the Headers to be done, so i will have pics of them, and hoping to have the motor in tomrrow night. SO pray for me, other than that, heres the pics....

New avatar right here!

remember this is forsale, check out my classified ad

look at the glare!

And like i said, banking on gettting the headers done tomorrow so ican take them to Hotdogs. But i hope i get the gaskets i ordered for them today from summit by tomorrow so i can tighen them down for good. But anyways....hows that rear pic with the tire on?? I love it!

williambriggs · 08-18-2008, 09:04 PM

not dont yet?? lol

Well plansare to drop the mottor in tomorrow, get the clutch worked out by weds. night. And than the radiator support to be mod'ded thurday night. So i am shooting for next weekend. So no shows for this year,

...but that just gives me time to finish the interior projec for next year.

its all good man

keep up the good work, and just make it turn out like u want it to.... ur better off having it done for next year than take it out half assed this year.... looks like you guys are doin a nice job, tho

thanks....ya i am very dissapointed, but its not like i havent missed the last year and a half of shows with my truck due to some unfortunate events...so wats another show season?

Well let me get ur opinions again...since i am doing some pieces previously stated flat black, how would the CAI look if it was either: A) ceramic coated the same color as my headers or B) paint them flat black to match the clutch master cylinder/ A/c box?

llorracs93s10 · 08-19-2008, 11:47 AM

Oh and i forgot to add that i am going to spray my white shocks red to offset all the black. So i will have the red intake upfront, red calipers front and rear and red shocks out back. Than i will tie that into my interior at some point. I think itll look really good.

llorracs93s10 · 08-19-2008, 07:28 PM

Well got the motor in for the last time!!!!!! Looks killer with the intake on ther. And will look even better with the headers on, which will be on tomorrow night. Besides the motor dropped in, the tranny was put into place, and the shifter bolted in. Sat in the seat, shifted it and had no issues with anything....so without further holding off you guys from see'n the pics...here they are!

heres hotdog doing sum cutting,

and here is the motor sat in. Still need to get the headers on to finish the plug wires, but you get the picture

heres the pics of the shifter bolted in

and just for the hell of it, hotdog took a pic of me acting like a idiot, lol

more pics tomorrow night. Hope to have the wiring harness plugged in and the headers bolted on.

williambriggs · 08-19-2008, 09:59 PM

take the headrests off the seats...trucks looking good

just got excited to get in the truck with the new motor/tranny dropped into place.

ls1s10onair · 08-20-2008, 09:29 AM

looks good man! ur shifter is that far back from the stock one? mine was close enough that i just made the hole bigger, and filled the forward excess..... and as of the intake, black is probably the safest bet, but either way would be fine

ya the shifter does in the picture look far back, but pics are decieving(sp) b/c my passenger seat fro some reason only goes back so far, so it sits further forward than my driver seat. So if i figured that out, than it should LOOK normal, lol

And i think i am going to go with the flat black intake elbow, i think than i will have enough of each color to make it so its not like, wtf is that color in there for.

And LT1s10onair, any way you can get a pic of your lower radiator hose? I know you said you just grabbed one that fit, but if we can get a idea of how it should bend anda ll, that would be great.

ls1s10onair · 08-20-2008, 11:55 AM

yea, no prob.... give me a little while, cuz im at work

no problem man....btw, you going to be at lowrollers right? Would like to see yours in person and meet you.

llorracs93s10 · 08-21-2008, 12:24 AM

got the headers back today, look awesome, i love the color. But when we mocked them in, we were hitting the firewall bad, and had no idea why since last time we mocked them, they were fine. Well found out tht the mtor mount brackets werent in the right spot, so thats all fixed. So heres the pics

heres hotdog doing some Mod'in to the tranny xmember

they look bad ass!

Well for tomorrow through saturday, while I will be at Lowrollers, Hotdog plans to get the tranny xmember mounted in, headers on for good, spark plug wires cut to size, and hopefully has the clutch problem fix. And tomorrow iam calling a d/s place to take my d/s there. So hope next week we can start the radiator support.

V8Blaze · 08-21-2008, 12:25 AM

damn those headers look awesome

llorracs93s10 · 08-21-2008, 12:31 AM

ya i was hesitant with the color cuz the sample was only three inches big and was a bit darker but the guy said that the color would lighten up adn it did and looks killer. I just hope the motor runs as good as it looks

FirstGenZq8 · 08-21-2008, 10:12 AM

could you ask hotdog to take pics of the final version of the tranny xmember?

The intake it self looks a little rough, but a simple scuff up, the fuel rails, the fins, and the underneath came up really nice. So this will be ready soon to be on the market And look wat arrived at my house when i got home!! B&M short throw shifter and a 6spd black shifter ball. Well thats it for today. Tomorrow i am back there to work on it again. Plans are to get the rear done and bolted up, get the core support mod'd for pushing radiator+ condenser forward, and Hotdog will start to work on the Powersteering pump and hopefully the wiring harness.

Btw, is the engine bay up to par for you? And we have to enclose the a/c box so it is going to have to be painted too. So how hard is it to take off the left hand side of the box.

How much you think would it beworth if i did/didnt port the intake? Just remember, it will most likely be more close to bare intake and no connections to it vs. a full intake. And it wont have a TB on it either. Anyways, here the pics of it after i just cleaned it up today this makes it look a hella lot better than how it originally looked right?

But back than i was young and stupid and had no idea and my dad shot me down and that was that. But now that i make money my self, he didnt have a big say in whether i got to do this or not.

He said that these with 3 inch blocks made his truck just about tuck tire outback. So i figured they are zq8 leafs. Can you guys with zq8 leafs tell me if i ripped or not? And Will, these arent the ones you gave me, i gave them to a buddy thinking these were more than a 1.5 drop leafs, but i think i was wrong....anyways heres the pics of the progress and the leafs i hope i didnt get ripped for.

The A/C box is easy - just a few nuts & bolts to take off. My biggest problem with getting them all off was that one of the nuts was screwed onto a "stud" that was sticking through from the inside of the cab. Well, the weld broke loose and it would just spin & spin. Luckily I was able to get to it from inside the cab and I just tacked it back on. And was able to get it off. If not I would have just cut it off. No big deal!! You should take it off and clean it up as well as paint under it.

I would have kept urs cuz these look like stock leafs, dont they? And i do wish you wre there, didnt get the core support touched yet. And the rear still needs the hosses to be attached, so its not done yet.

llorracs93s10 Registered User Age: 22 Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 4,571 Location: Middletown, DE User is: Online	Re: Project--->LT1 swap and alittle more goodies! well today i came to conclusion that i am going to paint the a/c box flat black, the clutch master cylinder flat black, and maybe one other thing. Other than taht, you see how it is now, and thats how it will stay. As for updates, i got the rest of the rear sprayed, had forgot to spray the center part that sits in the hole of the hub. So i took the rear calipers and hte rear caliper brackets off and sanded and sprayed them black like the rest of the rear. Besides that, i blasted the caliper brackets since i idid a shitty job a few months back on them and now they look really good. And lastly, for me, i got done bringing back the old intake to a nice looking intake. The fuel rails look great IMHO....i should have kept these. I have the pics below of them, but keep in mind i havent polished thm up at all, just wet sanded them. As for hotdog, he was busy remounting the PS pump, and setting up the wiring for the spark plugs. Other than taht, tommorw i have the Headers to be done, so i will have pics of them, and hoping to have the motor in tomrrow night. SO pray for me, other than that, heres the pics.... New avatar right here! remember this is forsale, check out my classified ad look at the glare! And like i said, banking on gettting the headers done tomorrow so ican take them to Hotdogs. But i hope i get the gaskets i ordered for them today from summit by tomorrow so i can tighen them down for good. But anyways....hows that rear pic with the tire on?? I love it!

Well let me get ur opinions again...since i am doing some pieces previously stated flat black, how would the CAI look if it was either: A) ceramic coated the same color as my headers or B) paint them flat black to match the clutch master cylinder/ A/c box?
