Wow Phil, when you told me you had some custom headers, you really meant it. That split collector is a really ingenious design. I'm impressed. Is that your steering shaft going right through the drivers side header? Impressive use of space. I want some info on the accessories you used. They look great.

Let me know when you get it all finished and tuned. I really want to take a spin in that thing.

That is a really nice looking build you have there. It will be interesting to see it in action.

Picked up a 3" pulley from a supplier in Washington. Ordered it yesterday, received it today. Great Service

Looks damn good! Those flanges on the collectors and headers (at the head) are THICK!! Why did you decide to use a Corvette supercharger instead of the truck kit?

The truck version wouldn't fit in the S10 engine bay. Too tall. This one will fit under the stock hood.

Default Picture Updates

A few recent pictures:

Next week is the cooling system, remote oil filter and cooler, front engine accessories. Following week, wiring harness and startup. Then shift kit, 3.73 gears for the rear (to match the front 3.73's) and engine breakin. Then to the dyno.

I can taste it...........................


Top of motor:



90mm C6 Throttle body - A/N fittings for intercooler:



Hard lines replaced rubber vacuum lines:



FP Regulator on CNC milled bracket:



Thermal coated Stainless headers, Wilwood Polished Master Cylinder not yet installed on Hydroboost.



Upper exhaust system routing:



Rear merge collector - behind cats leading to Magnaflow 3.5" muffler



Muffler - 3.5" in/out




Going to cover the coils with a black painted smoothed LS2 type cover with C6 Corvette flags on each.



I've decided on the same flags for the sides of the truck also:
