Default 1998 rcsb s10 6.0/4l80e/8.8/front mount s480 build

Title sums up this build. The turbo silverado is a brick, so I need something much smaller. When it's all said and done I will be happy if it's 3500lbs with me in it. Full interior street truck. I have a few pictures. I'm currently waiting on money of course. Hopefully finished by the end of the year...

I'm very pleased with how this radiator/fan combo worked, everything just happened to fit together perfectly

this is a driver side tbss manifold, looks like it work perfect for a crossover under the bellhousing. i didnt have much room to make a flipped forward truck manifold work on this side.

Nice build so far.

Curious if you had to hack up the front of the frame at all, I just remember reading a local's build thread on a different board and he had to mod the from crossmember to make everything fit. But I have no clue what oil pan he used or what mounts he installed.

i did not have to cut the frame at all. im not running a/c and i used the hummer h3 pan, so it clears the crossmember fine

I had most of the parts to do a 5.3 rear mount in a s10, but realized that traction would have been an issue and am doing a 4x4 full size lol

I actually have a few parts you might be interested in.
