[ffemt6488]

ill get mor pics of the rest i keep changing my mind on what im doin diff motormounts front end all kinds of stuff

[deimos]

feel free to scroll all the way down on the main page and sau hi in the chat box

[TheCowWatcher]

I see a no no on the firewall. But looks good!

[ffemt6488]

nono what ?

[TheCowWatcher]

Your fuel regulator.

[ffemt6488]

o the el cheapo just got the bg with the carb base mount

[wikd]

wont pass tech with it mounted on the firewall is what he is trying to tell you... if you race at a track that is a stickler for tech they will raise cain... not to mention the close proximity the fuel line will be in regards to the flexplate/flywheel...

[ffemt6488]

so am i better off running it through the frame and mounting it on the core suport

[wikd]

that would be a better place to mount it yes... will pass tech and if the trans comes apart better chance of it not taking that fuel line with it...

[deimos]

so am i better off running it through the frame and mounting it on the core suport

Thats what I did one mounted on the front of the engine and one off the core support pass tech with flying colors.

[TheCowWatcher]

I've even seen some people make brackets and mount it from the intake manifold. What are the specs on the motor if you dont mind me asking?

[ffemt6488]

4.020 bore flat top 6.125 rod 600. solid roller 1.5 shaft rockers ,world 220 runner-50 cc chambers, angle plug , 2.08 1.94 200. long valves , supervictor intake 900 holley with a bunch of stuff done to it not to sure got it off racing junk dirt cheep ill post a vidio of it running , all msd just lacking the headers i would pefer to run

[ffemt6488]

well here it is running

[ffemt6488]

try this again first fire on engine needs a litte tuning and timing locjed down but after primeing it fired on the firs revolution

[TheCowWatcher]

That's always a good sound! Just don't let those shorts get too close to that crank pulley :laughoutloud:

Keep the updates coming!

[ffemt6488]

no joke i had a hoodie on with the string hanging down once and the alt fan riped it off of me lol not to fun

[TheCowWatcher]

Yeah there's always that close call that makes you stand back and say "that was close!"

What headers are you preferring to run?

[wikd]

thing sounds pretty damn good... lookin like a nice lil truck...

[ffemt6488]

got the trans in cross member built a bunch of grinding and sanding left to do , i pulled the motor out to finish up the crossmember and the different motor mounts my home made ones finish welding up everything and sand paint and shove it all back in , then im going to start on my headers decided to build my own

[ffemt6488]

ive got more pics comming

[Manyfire]

That is awesome. looks great and sounds great

[ffemt6488]

waitn on my controll arms and steering linkage and spindels then its time to get the frond end back on the ground then wrap it up into a cucoon and get the cab primed and painted and then get the reae end under it

[ffemt6488]

[ffemt6488]

[ffemt6488]

[s10_406]

nice bro

[ffemt6488]

its getting there ordering more parts next week

[ffemt6488]

ok cant make up my mind once again on the headers i know fenderwell headers give more peformance and more clearance underneith the truck but i have a set of headmsn long tubes i could use , dont know what to do im thinking i can always upgrade later . need imput

[Diabolical]

What size are the tubes?
That should be the deciding factor if you are looking for the most bang for your buck..

[ffemt6488]

well the ones i have r the 1-3/4

[Diabolical]

With out me going back and looking.. What are your expectations?

[ffemt6488]

lol not to sure yet would like to just do the 1-7/8 fenderwells from headman or i could just build a set of 2in myself the tig is fixed now so just need someone to just tell me whats better i have an idea whats better just needs to come from someone whos running a s10

[Diabolical]

2" are big.. And you will loose some low end torque.
Go for the 1-7/8"
I had 2" and went back to 1-7/8" if that means anything..

[ffemt6488]

ok that makes sence not goin to get to expectant of the truck yet untill i run it if u know what i mean

[Diabolical]

Yep.. I do. :)

[ffemt6488]

well got alot more parts , and some headers im not to sure im going to use
but i did find a set of fenderwells for cheap i pick those up on thurs hopefully and i have a stainless set comming

[BUTCHERBOY]

The header game, what to get, what do I need. And my favorite, How much chedder will it take! lol!


Nice sounding engine!

Gonna be cool build.

[Diabolical]

Looking good. :thumbsup:

I'd like to wrap my headers... but fear the rust problems I've heard horror stories about after wrapping them.


Jeff

[ffemt6488]

well i sand blasted them inside and out and painted them with a few good coats of 1500 degree paint made a huge difference in the temps

[ffemt6488]

ok next is , get rear end in it , order hood and front fenders, then lots of sanding . i decided to paint it myself so im hoping it turns out well but only time and alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ will tell

[satterfield8]

Looks good!

[smsmith36]

got more pics thes r the fenderwells i biult not perfect but they turned out well i think

They might not be perfect but I can pretty much guarantee they're better than what I could do. Nice progress.

[monteman427]

[ffemt6488]

thanks for all the good coments the rear end is almost done still waitn on axels , back suport ,and new caliper brackets. once thats in its on to the driveshaft front shaft loop then finish the body work on the bed and time to start the final paint prep
