A machinist , a turbo and his L31 GMC

Look what came in the mail few hours ago . It wasn't bad either 20 bucks for a billet bowtie badge hardware powder coated and shipped. I think the black offsets the grille nicely.

That is nice, I wish they reproduced the 73-74 Bowtie on my C10 lol.

Got few more things done yesterday. BOV and LS6 style card MAF have been tig welded in.
My next focus is now on the engine . I want to hear it start and run.

This thing is going to be sweet. Awesome work, man.

Why thank you . I really have an awesome wife. People dont realize what she put up with while doing it. If it wasnt for her allot of this would have happen.

I forgot to post the picture of the H-RFL BOV (Really F!ckn Loud )install in my wheel well . Ya im a poser sticking it there but I love the sound of a loud BOV! Itll be very clear coming out the wheel well like that. Im going to have to put a screen of some sort to keep dirt out of it.

So we had a few small hiccups .
As im trying to get ready to button everything up trying to start her up I ran into three problems. Because I switch to the LSA card style maf thats used on the supercharged caddy my wire was to short . Ive ordered one it wont be here till Tuesday.
The 4 barrel throttle body I use , uses a ford 5.0 tps with a late model gm conector . Thats pretty common among these types of throttle body. Fast sells the early vortec to late model ls adapter. I bought the male , male version orginally . I found out the other day I needed the female female version. I ordered it and summit dropped it off today. Problem fixed.
Lastly was big . The TURBO manifold I use was meant for a 153t flywheel . That uses a smaller starter thats closer to the block. My ass end of the starter was hitting my down pipe . I talk to some guys over at third gen forum . Who the headers where made for and came up with two options cut relocate and reweld. Wich I didnt want to do considering the exhausts been welded and wrapped in header wrap or try a mini starter .
So I tried the mini starter but summit robbed me because I needed a 168t mounting block and a really small hi torque starter . But it did fix the problem. Here some pics.
Sunday I finished bolting in my 340lph pump. And I used our stock fuel pump basket with -AN add ons pretty trick . All I had to do was shave the top part where the neck peeks through and everything fell into place. If any ones wondering the supra guys love this pump its a knock of of the aeromotive but its from japan and works great . Supposed to support over 900 whp more than Ill need for now. If not ill add 2.
I have some battery wires to ground , few ecm wires to tap into . Wait for my extension load a tune prime the motor and I should be able to start it .
Almost forgot I purchased everything to go with a removable winch . I was going to mount my winch stealth like behind the bumper but decided it would be better to move it around and have a trailer hitch post up front also.

Well I hit a new bump in the road today. My oil filter hits the otherside on my cross over pipe.
Has any one used the 4.3 s10 relocation oil assembly on a 5.7 . I know that blocks are almost identical minus 2 back cylinder?

They're the same part. But, use an OEM gasket! Those aftermarket ones will leak.
