New Project: 1991 S10

[untitledfolder]

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

issues should be fixed now, database error

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.

Not a fan of the carb'd 350. It has 160,000 on it, heads flow like shit, it's stock besides HEI distributor which Overkill Customs in Hines helped me install today after massaging the firewall a bit to fit it, an edelbrock carb, and an edelbrock intake manifold. To get to the 350-400 whp hp naturally aspirated it will take a lot more for a 350, or I can get $1600 saved up, buy the $850 LQ4/4L80E combo with computer and harness up here, then spend the rest on parts to swap it in and make over 300whp and 300ft/lbs of torque bone stock. So add LS6 intake manifold, headers, and a tune from Andy at Dynotune USA and I'm sitting above 350 which is my goal, plus I'd get better gas mileage. I get 20 mpg with the 3.08 gears in my rear, bonestock_442 gets 20mpg while making 800whp and running 4.10 gears with his LQ4, point being I can get new gears to wake it up even more, while maintaining gas mileage.

good luck, I already did the 6.0/4l80 swap and I can tell you I wouldnt do it again, no way. L33 5.3 and a 4l60 in anything under 3000lbs is way better

Can you please explain? I am planning on doing a lq4/4l80 or glide setup

[Grr]

its heavy as shit, an iron 6.0 and 4l80 is well over 100lbs more, close to 125lbs.

LQ4 is still lighter than a SBC by about 70 lbs, 4l80e is 40 lbs or so heavier than the 700r4 so I'd still come out lighter.
