    fire fire

    Just curious, did you crimp or solder the wires? If you crimped 'em, and did it again, I'd take it back apart and solder it. Crimping the wires can cause too much resistance, which could lead to the wires getting too hot.

    96' Cadillac Fleetwood LT1 into 94' GMC?

    Well, I own a '96 Impala SS with the same engine. My thoughts on this are to go for it, especially for the price. As for an LS swap, I've done a lot of research, and it really nickel and dimes you. To do it and make it as functional as my stock engine (in other words, have a/c), I was looking...

    Jolly Green's '97 build

    Hello Mr. Jolly. I recently acquired your trucks older sibling. lol I've got a '94 ecsb, also white and Z-71. I have to say that I"m gonna steal some of your mods. You've done some of the things that I'd been considering, and have definitely pushed me. Your truck looks fantastic. As for...

    OBS only , painted interior pics

    I know www.s10forum.com has how-tos on dash removal for square and round body trucks. (hope it's okay to post the link. If not, let me know and I'll change it.) It's as useful a site as this one, if you own S-trucks.

    going to post this hear since rims are shiny and go on outside. anyways.. Rim Repair

    I wish you luck. I've got 3 sets of wheels in storage over that same issue. Never have found anyone willing to fix them reasonably. As for yours, with them being chrome, I'd say you'll be cheaper just replacing. To do them right, they'd have to be stripped, repaired, and then replated. Not...

    HT383E Stroker Engine Swap

    For my truck, I'm just wanting a dependable, daily/weekend cruiser with working a/c that I can attempt to get decent mileage (for a V-8) and cruise. I want it to pull a trailer when I need to. I've got a '69 Camaro and a '96 Impala SS if I wanna haul ass. As far as my comments earlier, I just...

    HT383E Stroker Engine Swap

    I'm familiar with both, Draggin. I've seen you in a lot of threads there, but you know as well as I do that there's a helluva lot more to it than "soldering two wires". I just don't like it when people make rocket science sound like pounding two rocks together. I've seen many a great project...

    HT383E Stroker Engine Swap

    I know I'm grave diggin a bit here, but I want to hear about this two wire LS swap! From everything I've read, the parts list is at least a foot long and it's a lot more than two wires. Please elaborate as I'm debating either an LS or HT383E.

    need insight about vortec misfire asap

    I am going thru this now. First thing he needs to do is a compression check on all cylinders. That will eliminate a head/cylinder problem. If compression is good, I'd look into replacing the fuel injection spider. If his cap and rotor are good, that's about all that's left. My problem wound...

    vortec head question

    I tried this first thing. The nearest one to me is over 400 miles away according to the parts locator service my local yard uses. Thanks for the head info. That's exactly what I was wanting to know. This is kinda my worst case scenario. I'm just trying to bandaid this thing along until I...

    vortec head question

    Hi everyone. Well, my choice of doing an LS swap is gonna have to wait ($$$, I gots none), so I'm exploring options on putting a band aid on my 305 Vortec. I've got what I'm assuming is a burned valve on cyl. 6. It has a whopping 30 psi of compression. The plug was soaked with oil as well...

    eninge was laid to rest this morning

    It mostly comes down to how extensive you want to get and how deep your pockets are. I've got a 98 pickup that I'm trying to decide what to do with. If you want to go with another vortec, you have options. You didn't mention if it's a 5.0 or 5.7. GM makes direct replacement crate engines...

    LS swap into 98 questions, info overload!

    Hi everyone. This isn't my first swap, but it is the most involved electrically wise. What I've got is a 98 ecsb with a 305 vortec auto that has a dead cylinder. SO, it's time to do something. One option that I'm HEAVILY considering is a 5.3 or 6.0 swap. I've read and read and read, and...
