Me too, eventually I'd like to go lq4/4l60e or Ls1 and just beef up the 700r4 that's in it a bit. For now though it will get some minor things and I'll just drive it through the summer and enjoy it since I just got it.

Looks clean!

Word of warning, its either the Holley blue or red pumps that spontaniously combust on occasion and usually fail randomly. One is decent, the other one is garbage. It escapes me to what one is which though. Im too lazy to look for the thread that talked about it somewhere...

Got the same steering wheel as my Cutlass too! :icon_cheers:

Sweet! What does that thing weigh?

[Grr]

wow thats a clean truck, good pick up!
Since its already setup with the 350 I would advise to just put some parts on that, no reason to swap to LSx. Get a nice set of heads and cam and it will be plenty fast!

I was just going to say the same thing as Gary. Swapping in another set up when you have an equally capable set up allready in it is silly.

[kylush]

Yeah... and I wouldn't swap a 4L60E in it, they suck

Anywhere from 2600-2800 is curb weight. This thing is tiny and similar trucks are at about 2650-2700 lbs.

And the 350 will be in it for awhile but It's just not what I want. I found a 4l80e LQ4 pullout for $850 I may jump on and stick in a corner until I'm ready for it.

A few people have told me to stick with the carb'd 350 setup but I just don't like it, not my cup of tea so I will EVENTUALLY get rid of it. I may do some minor things to wake it up like swapping out the 3.08 gears, getting a locker for the rear, a proper dyno tune etc for the time being.

New seats and steering wheel.

Steering wheel is a Grant, seats and console are from a 91 Bravada and are buckets instead of the 60/40 split that was in it.

Posted the wrong pic for the last one, and it won't let me edit the post.

Here's the correct OLD pic:

I've gotta agree with the crowd here the 350 has one helluva lot of potential, like 600+hp for around $3000 in parts potential. You can always vortec swap if you want efi, or god knows there is just a little aftermarket support for standalone efi systems, but I'd leave that powerplant in place. Bottom line is the sky's the limit with what you have and in the end the 350 parts will be cheaper, especially since you could get a lot of stuff used.

Looks pretty sweet.
I think a blacked out grill and a roll pan would make some nice added touches as well.

I actually like the gauge as is, but the rear bumper and receiver will be removed.

I plan to replace the rear with a bumper from an s10 blazer, looks like this:

Something is seriously wrong with this forum. I can't edit posts and it double posted...

anyway that was supposed to say Grill** and have a pic of a blazer bumper, like this:

Good chice on the lsx, efi is makes it completely worth it alone

[Jim]

issues should be fixed now, database error

[B_rad]

sound like a sweet ride, f****** military computers won't let me view picks. But I agree with the group, 350's have soooo much avalable for way cheaper than anything you could swap in.
