Oops, I did this out of order. I have the first start up vidoe also here:

Nice!!!

I can't wait to see what she will do. I'm interested to see how you like the new set up once you Iron the bugs out.

 

One of the best threads ive seen in a while. Thanks for the ideas and I think this would be great for a lil budget s10 build.

 

Good job Mark! Truck is looking good.

Man I'm stoked to see how she'll do also, but its hard trying to be patient. I've had to put the tune learning on hold for a couple weeks since I have other work to catch up on. But learning to tune will take time also. I must get those 2.73 gears and open diff out of there ASAP. Still need to install a wide band also. This will all happen next month.

It does feel great to be LS powered once again though! It puts a great smile on my face to be rid of that TBI 305.

 

Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying it. Thats what its all about, sparking ideas and sharing and learning from the good and the bad.

 

Hey Mikey! Thanks! Long time man! I hope all has been well.

 

Heres a quick time-lapse video of us slamming this engine in the truck over the weekend.

That was pretty cool!

 

Dude BADASS ******* videos! Nice to see there are some good Americans taking risks and inspiring others! Thumbs up and forget the haters! I'm just 18 and love seeing people like me upgrading g the truck themselves instead of paying a shop, bravo man
