S10 5.7/T56 project

[SLOWC5]

Kyle and I finally got the correct mounts for the engine and got our transmission this week. So today we got the engine in. No modifying of the cross member. everything fits perfectly. I'm ordering up stainless to start the fabrication of the headers. I have 14 inches from the edge of the cylinder head to where im going to mount the radiator. Should have plenty of room to fit everything

The old thread is lost so ill be picking up here

[Ricky Bobby]

Progress looks great!!! So what you gonna do for the headers?

[SLOWC5]

something where 2 turbos will fit on.......

[Brian98GTP]

Nice progress guys!

Cant wait to see the finished product. You KNOW this is going to be one of those 'projects' that will float from forum to forum, and everyone will be watching the videos of races/burnouts on youtube. :thumbsup

[Yooformula]

looks good but can you post up some other pics to refresh our memory since the server crashed.

[70challenger]

looks awesome! thats the one that was in the storage place right?

[70 cutlass 442]

looks great jeff

[pickardracing]

bad ass.

[GTSLOW]

I have 14 inches from the edge of the cylinder head to where im going to mount the radiator.


You gonna reuse the be-cool or you got something custom?

[SLOWC5]

ill be using the BeCool radiator, but i might be heavily modifying the rad-support or make my own rad-support

[Boost21]

That things going to rip when its up and running

[scaleracer]

looks good! can't wait to see it done :thumbsup

[GTSLOW]

That things going to rip when its up and running

And it handles niiiiiiiiiiiiice :thumbsup!

I wont whore the thread but this is what it looks like in complete form:

[WickedSix]

that is a rather ingenius way to mock some headers +1 for effort :headbang

[SLOWC5]

I just wish making the headers would be that easy

[Boost21]

Wow never seen a mock up like that, but is also a great idea!

[GTSLOW]

Very cool way of seeing how everything fits and will look! I see the ZR1's are removed.

[WickedSix]

Who did u buy your flanges from btw?? I was going to build a set of headers soon and i can't seem to find headers by ed ne more which is where my last header kit came from.....

[SLOWC5]

Yes, Nan the ZR1's have been removed

LS headers flanges are from Lingenfelter.

[SmokinRAM114]

turbo headers? uh oh lol

[Z28Roxy]

Love the headers :rolf

[SLOWC5]

turbo headers? uh oh lol

Not turbo headers, just a different design:thumbsup

[GHOSST]

I was going to try that with a Sonoma.. grandparents got and old Buick Roadmaster LT1 just sittin 60,000 on the dash but the body is shot from family misuse..minor dents/cracked windshield, but good everything else.. but it just sits... and sits... and sits..... lol

[GTSLOW]

So what are you guys doing with the old motor? If you find the right person you should be able to get a pretty penny for the heads, cam, lifters, roller rockers. Going with slicks/skinnies or keeping the ZR1s?

[SLOWC5]

we're attempting to sell everything you just listed.

Nan,

do you know what the specs on that cam are?

JEFF

[GTSLOW]

I just pm'd the specs to kyle :)

[Brian98GTP]

we're attempting to sell everything you just listed.

Nan,

do you know what the specs on that cam are?

JEFF

Nice sig, loser.... :alcoholic

You know its true, too... :thumbsup

...just dont let the video be of you two crashing it or something, LOL.

[GTSLOW]

...just dont let the video be of you two crashing it or something, LOL.

:( :( :( :(

[WickedSix]

still have the vortec heads?? can't recall the $$ u had said for them.... know the flow numbers off hand?? picked up a vortec manifold...might be a good swap from the older style heads for me :D

[GTSLOW]

I don't think I ever got the flow numbers but they are worked over NICELY! 5angle valve jobs, stage 3 porting, awesome bowls, machined valve guides for .550+ lift cam, double valve springs, conversion studs for the roller rockers, etc...

[BAD LS1]

I think they were overkill for n/a stock cubes.

[GTSLOW]

I think they were overkill for n/a stock cubes.

Absolutely however I was planning on going with a syty setup.

[WickedSix]

i need something aroun 280 cfm @ 550 ....the set I had were waaaay too big for what I want to do.... 325 cfm @ 700 eeeeeppp nascar boys know how to get some flow tho yeesh

[BAD LS1]

Just funded their project by buying the wheelz...

[lasttimearound]

wow, i love this build, ive been trying to convince my little cousin to do this to his s10 for his senior auto shop project. he keeps shooting me down, hopefully this thread will give him the motivation needed

[SLOWC5]

Im working on taking a lot of pictures on this build. I'll try to keep up on this thread with the progress

[jbiscuit]

Just funded their project by buying the wheelz...

you bought the wheelzzz? For what? Your S10-izzle?

[lasttimearound]

Im working on taking a lot of pictures on this build. I'll try to keep up on this thread with the progress

good to hear! you did spark his interest, so thanks!

[BAD LS1]

you bought the wheelzzz? For what? Your S10-izzle?

Yeah im keeping it and its gonna be my tow vessle lol, so it might as well look a lil diff than the 8 billion other 98+ S10s out there.

[jbiscuit]

NICE! Ls1 swap too!?

[Z28Roxy]

NICE! Ls1 swap too!?

Looks like an LS1? I can't tell.

[BAD LS1]

maybe brad will get his sonoma finished too which is hotcam LT1 powered... he will need some spray to compete with this one though lol

[SLOWC5]

he'll need alot of spray

[theavenger333]

he'll need alot of spray

ooooooooooo, burn! :rolf

[GTSLOW]

Pics?!?!?

[SLOWC5]

Just a few more pictures, Next weekend will be a fun weekend, exhaust tubing and more parts will be showing up. Today I was able to get the trans cross member in place. I just used the original and modified it to fit in the new location. It needed to get moved back about 3 inches.
I also finally got the radiator inside the core support. I'm going to need as much room as i can up front so, Thats inside and the fans are on the outside of the core support. I'll have to get new blades for the fan so that they push instead of pull.

Here are the pics

Looks great! going with a truck-style water pump yet to with a 45* water inlet instead of that F body job? Looks like it might get in the way of stuff. The hood wont close with that fill neck above the rad support either.

[SLOWC5]

Its a LS2 water pump, and The hood was on the truck. I took it off for the pictures:D

JEFF

[GTSLOW]

Lookin great! Can't wait to see the pics from next weekend.

[jbiscuit]

Jeff, this thing is looking awesome man! Are you guys hoping to have it out in 08 on the streets?

[SLOWC5]

Jason,

I'm hoping on having the truck rolling this summer. Just need to get all the parts together. We'll be ordering a wiring harness soon. Then kyle can do something LOL


Today i was able to box in the front where im going to have my alternator mounted. I need to make some aluminum brackets for the mounts.

Few more pictures

[BadAzzGTA89]

Looking really good can't wait to see it under it's own power:thumbsup
Good job guys!

[pickardracing]

Y'all should have that frame coated. That would be slick.

And if I might just ask for one tiny thing? Lose the front valance? Please? :D

[SLOWC5]

we will be painting the frame once we have everything done and ready for final assembly.

We will most likely be losing the front valance, I was just putting it on there to get an idea on some room up front

[pickardracing]

Yay!

:D

[jbiscuit]

awesome Jeff...really good work. I wanna get out there by you and see it in person one day!

[SLOWC5]

Wait til this weekend, or anytime after this weekend. Should start making some good progress on the engine side of this pig, by mid week this week

[SLOWC5]

Here's my prototype alternator bracket. Tomorrow ill be making a new one, thats cleaner and nicer. Ill finish up the lower adjustable bracket tomorrow also. Little progress. I get to pick up some more parts tomorrow. I should have pictures by 1. I'm a little excited:)

[Breecher_7]

So what are we looking at here for HP?

[twicks69]

I take that last statement back, they look more like the 850 or 1000, than the 650 in overall footprint.

Please correct me Jeff on which ones you went with. If you want privacy, please PM me if you are willing to divulge.

[A B4C Z]

If all goes as planned it should toss down 850 with a blip of the throttle.

[SLOWC5]

They are GTK550's with a tang T4 with a 3 or 3.5 V-band, .68AR. I don't remember the V-band outlet size.

I also would like to thank JEFF @ Fuel Systems!

[GTSLOW]

Wow I love it, nice space with the radiator. :D

Is the engine a built 5.7 what is it from? a stock i mean everything stock with exceptions to a cast aluminum fuel injected intake and a Wilson 90 degree elbow and throttle body will handle about 600-700 rwhp +-... hate to bust your bubble, i read somewhere that u wanted 850+ flywheel hp or whp...don't know just a heads up for you guys, i didn't get a chance to read up about it on the old thread if the engine specs were listed (if any).:thumbsup

[SLOWC5]

please explain the bubble your trying to burst? The LS6 block that you see in the pictures is just for mock up.

[2SLOW]

ok good i was worried that is was the real deal (i have seen some "stock engine" setups that were disappointing after they drop the hammer and blow it apart LOL)..:thumbsup so whats the specs on the new engine or is it a secret:) super buildup you got going:D

[SLOWC5]

no real secret, only secret was not posting about the turbos til we had them. Thats just more fun :)

forged 370,
Iron block LQ4
diamond -13cc pistons
scat rods ARP200 bolts
stock crank
ARP main studs
polished #317 heads
Stock LS6 manifold
Stock TB

most of the stock stuff is because we have it laying around the shop. So until we need to upgrade we will use the free shit we have.

Here is the custom CNCed serpentie system that Jeff did up this weekend. I gave a hand with what I could:)

[TURTLE]

no power steering? or is that next on the list? nice progress so far, can't wait to see what goodies you put on it next!

[A B4C Z]

Nope. With slicks and skinnies all the time it shouldnt be bad to steer it.

[jbiscuit]

WOW you guys! That thing is looking great! I can't wait to see more updates!

[GTSLOW]

Updates plz :D

[slickwilly]

Jesus f*ck.

What the hell are you going to do with that much goddamn power in an S10? :rolf

I'm thinking dyno/highway queen unless you can REALLY drive.

[SLOWC5]

thats the benefit of knowing how to drive

I flipped the turbos this weekend, ill get more pictures. I'm waiting and have been waiting since Jan 9th on my pipes from STAINLESS WORKS. once those come i can make some progress. We will be sending the wiring harness out soon to get converted, hopefully current performance will be quicker than STAINLESS WORKS!

[SLOWC5]

Well,

The cold weather has returned and so has the S10 project. I started to box in the frame tonight. We worked on the firewall a little. Picking up the engine this weekend.

Things that have changed at this point are. The engine specs, The lack of turbo's, and from a T56 to a Turbo 350, possibly Turbo 400. Kyle wants the truck running by spring. So we are planning on running it NA right now, and driving it, enjoying it, and most of all get everything wired out. Then come next winter we can add more parts to the engine for more power:thumbsup Here's some pictures and of course more to come.

Did you move the shackles to lower the rear?

[SLOWC5]

Picked up the motor and trans lastnight, Was too anxious to not get the bastard in today. So I ripped the T56 and LS6 block out and the new transplant drive line is in.

[Flicktitty]

looking good, i was wondering what happened to this!

[GTSLOW]

Josh I believe the rear has the axle flipped to the topside? not really sure, never investigated the suspension much

JEFF

That's how they are stock. It has Belltech 3" drop leafs w/ 2* shims.

[Breecher_7]

That engine looks familiar..

[BAD LS1]

Damn that didnt take long lol Wow that trans dropped right in perfect with the stock cross member!

[SLOWC5]

crossmember was modified for the T56, in previous pictures you can see it moved, roughly 1.5" back

[UnderPSI]

Are you planning on running that suspension???

I would think you would want to do some kind of 4 link/tubbed set up.

[SLOWC5]

right now we just want to get the truck up and running, and then we'll be upgrading the rear

JEFF

[GTSLOW]

You can adjust the preload on the slide-a-links also. Should help a lil in the launching category.

[97z2801ss]

never seen this thread, cool project though guys!!!

[SLOWC5]

We we added some covers and accessories to seal the engine back up. Had a drive shaft and gave it a try and sure shit the bastard fits perfectly in the S10!!! Some new joints and bearings and she'll move. Once we finish the rest...

The driveshaft is from a 06 sierra ext cab pickup

[jbiscuit]

time for some fun!!!

[SLOWC5]

I added Some clearance to the engine oil pan today. I need to finish up all the welding from the bottomside. Now that the other lift is open I can do that. Got a 8.8 rearend for the truck today also, so we'll get that cleaned up, painted and installed. I'm loving that I'm actually making rear progress.

At work I'll be starting some CNCed engine mount spacers, soon.

[juicedimpss]

jeff,that yoke doesnt look like it has very much engaugement into the trans,might just be the pic..

[SLOWC5]

I thought the same thing but, the drive shaft is about 2.5 inches into the housing and the output shaft is out .500" from the case, so it has about 3.00" on engagement. IS that enough?

The driveshaft is from a fullsize chevy truck.

it should be in there this weekend, we're going to try and start sandblasting the frame on sunday. I got some welding to do!!!!:)

[Irish]

What is your 8.8 out of?

[SLOWC5]

not sure, a buddy got it, I asked no questions, its a 1991, 8.8, drums, open diff, 3.55 gears, and kyle said it was clean as hell, I'll post some pictures tomorrow

JEFF

[Irish]

Is the 8.8 a coil spring rear end or is it a leaf spring rearend? If it is/was coil spring, it could be a mustang rear. It might even have a worn out trac-lok.

[SLOWC5]

its a leaf rear end, out a truck vehicle.

[A B4C Z]

Its out of an explorer

[Irish]

Aww damn... That's the one I need too. I wonder if it has 31 spline axles.

JEFF

[jbiscuit]

wow, looks awesome so far you guys!

[Irish]

Looks clean, are the spring pads in the right location? I am curious to see if it drops right in like I have heard. Can't wait to find out!

[SLOWC5]

Apparently the only change needed is the spring pin location, needs to me moved 1/2 inches. I should have the answer by sunday :)

[Irish]

There is a tag on the diff. cover that makes me believe that it has a trac-lock in it.

[SLOWC5]

this tag?

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/kssinbooth/truck/DSC00185.jpg

[Irish]

Aww damn, though it was going to say use Limited Slip diff lube only. :(

[SLOWC5]

Got some more parts in, Waiting on the damn headers, have some long tubes coming. Now the motor plates can not be fitted until I know my headers clear everything.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/kssinbooth/truck/DSC00251.jpg


JEFF

[GTSLOW]

F'n sweet!

[Crawlin]

Jeff, you get the Madman plates? if yes, how was your fitment around the water pump inlet/outlets

end up getting the mid plate too?

[SLOWC5]

They are the MadMan plates. They didn't line up as nice as i had hoped. Off a little on the water pump inlets. I did not get the mid plate. going to just run the poly trans mount right now. maybe some peices coming off the trans but not a plate.

[Crawlin]

yeah, i was really disappointed in mine for what they cost.

looks cool though!

[SLOWC5]

yeah there is clearance on all the holes, probably too much clearance on the screw holes and shouldn't be as much on the waterpump holes. Then it would make a better product. looks like it was cut with a waterjet machine.

At work we have a new CMM and I could make my own and make it better. just not sure I want to spend more time.... I have too many things to do to get this damn thing moving as it is

Finally some progress!! We got the headers mid week. So I got those installed and massaged the block and bell housing in a few areas to provide ample clearance. fit the engine and headers onto the frame and got the cab on with clearance there too. Cut the motor plates and got the fitted. Shot over to work and machined the plates to clean up the cuts and remove the excess material that was not needed :thumbsup Tommorow I'm hoping to weld my brackets to the frame and mount the motor plates to the frame.

when you add an extra clutch in there though, it fixes the problem and does the job....big difference when I had it rebuilt on the 88.

[SLOWC5]

More parts arrived, More fab has been done, more progress.
This past week/weekend Kyle and myself have..............

I made up a new trans crossmember so i have clearance for the exhaust.

The rear axles were drilled for Chevy 4.75 bolt pattern. Also reinstalled

Engine has been buttoned up and finally sealed up. I used a burr on the block to hopefully seal the motor plate to the block better. Added a little bead hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Mounted the trans cooler, Mounted it to the bottom of the box, kept it in the back to keep the engine bay cleaner

Changed the name on the intake elbow:thumbsup

found the location for the fuel cell, cut the bed for the sump, and fittings. Fuel system should be ordered this week

Also tried Kyles FIKSE's on the back, 17x11 315/35-17 tires. Fit perfectly!

ProTuner MP4303, I had Nasty Performance out of ill. put the system together for me. Told him the truck might see nitrous and/or turbos in a year or so:devil

JEFF

[SLOWC5]

Well more parts are still coming in, Hopefully tomorrow I'll start and finish the driveshaft loop. Kyle got the 90mm TB, injectors, flywheel, plug wires in this week. With the TB on we were able to shorten the length of the cable to make it look a little more professional and cleaner. I then made a few parts at work to make the stock cable still work. We also pulled the carpet, seats, and rollbar out of the truck, cleaned the interior up and tossed some dynamat on the floor where the exhaust will be. Still need a few pieces to finish the whole floor.

Fuel system shipped friday so I'm excited to get that in and start plumbing that bastard!! I'm sure I'll post pictures:thumbsup

[A B4C Z]

HHa Might do better than that. This motor went 11.3s consitant on a nitrous stall and nitrous tune in a trans am. Thanks for the compliments! More pictures will be im sure soon.. as the converter will be here hopefully this week and then its wiring time.

got another item today. Hopefully by the end of the week, the converter will be in along with the everything else for the engine and trans so that its in for the last time... fingers crossed

VSI is a mother fucker to get in with. Brad haggled with those guys for months, they ended up sending a rep to his shop before they would give him an account. Apparently they get tons of people that try to open accounts that claim to have shops and a large customer base but are really just people working out of there garage on there own shit and they will still give those people accounts but they charge them a huge buy in fee.

Thats a hell of a feed and return line. I ran -8 feed and -6 return on josh's vette and I think that will be plenty! How much power are you trying to make?? :stare

[SLOWC5]

I bought the AN-10 hose before I talked with nate @NASTY perf. so I wasn't going to send the hose back. That's why the system is as large as it is. Plus we have intentions of adding power this following winter and this system I'll never have to second guess.

We truned it over today just to make sure the engine harness works. It works! Just need to finish wiring everything else up got at good start on the gauges today with a few miller lites helping me out. As long as we get a few of the fuel fittings we need this week. I would say by the weekend it could or should be alive.

Jeff did you use pushlock fittings? It looks like it but im not sure... I used them on Josh's corvette, they are a pain in the ass to get seated!!!! Heat gun and wd40 does wonders!!!!

[SLOWC5]

some are pushloc fittings and some are the BIGEND screw on fittings. It will work this year. I'm sure next year will change the fittings around

[Breecher_7]

If there installed correctly there more then sufficiant for most applications and alot cheaper.... I tried to blow them off at work with our HP air system. There aeroquip hose and fittings i used were rated to 250psi, line was still holding at 350psi and I stopped there.... Considering they will never see more then 90psi of fuel pressure in the application I used them i cant imagine they would ever be a issue.

Lookin really good!

[FourEyedFord]

Looks good guys!

Sorry if this comes off bad, but I don't believe the truck will pass tech with the FPR on the firewall like that. I don't know the exact rule, but I am pretty sure there is a set distance it has to be away from the firewall.

[SLOWC5]

Looks like your right!!!

Fuel block, pressure regulator and NOS solenoids must be mounted no less than 6 inches from firewall.

son of a bitch, I was try to keep a symmetrical look for the fuel lines. now i'll have to look into changing the location of the FPR

Wait Tony was actually right on something? :goof

[FourEyedFord]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I just figured it is better to know now rather than in the tech line at the track.

Why don't you just re-mount the regulator in the front of the motor? Maybe make a bracket off of a couple of water pump/front cover bolts or off that valley cover?

I know mines carbed and my motor plate is one piece, but you can get the idea. All you would have to do is extend your return line and shorten up the return lines off the rails.
