ANYWAY THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

 

I'm a Ford guy at heart, but a SBF in a S10 makes no sense... They go in Rangers and Explorers a whole lot easier.

The SBC is too long to fit let alone the even longer Ford engine.

Just my .02

 

Thats awesome !!!!!! Very cool will really freak people out when you say its just a "small" lol is a 427 still a small block. And then you pop the hood very nice. Once you get driving Ill be intested in how you like the hyd thro out.

 

thanks. updated to electric vacuum brake system / dash panels installed / batteries installed / hood is done.

 

I love it, nice swap and holy wirring.

 

Still looking great, guess there will be no lifting the hood for the surprise. I'm trying so hard not to go the other way but ls1 s are so cheap compared to mod motors.

 

What are all the gauges you have ?

 

i have every guage auto meter offers including water pressure that is not in there catalog and am taking out the a/f analog and replacing with the 4380 d-pic in the a pillar. all the guages were unintentional just wanted to know what everything was doing. the ANDERSON PMS will display real time a/f.

 

What made you go with a sbf instead of a sbc?

 

i started out w a 88 mitsubishi montero 2dr 2wd w corvette c4 suspension front and rear. eventually parts became extinct. i picked up a s10blazer cheap and they were still supported w dealer parts. thaught it would be ez. now im just addressing obstacles as they come. finishing up the a/c and plumbing the fuel system now.
