The S10 that I went to Atlanta to get has found a window of time in my life . I already had the headers but I went to a better set of engine mounts made by JTR that hook up to the 2.8 from mounts this truck came with . There are about 4 styles of mounts to put a SBC in a S10 / S15 but I think these are the best . They set yhe engine slightly to the passenger side for steering shaft clearance and allow you to set the engine about 1.5 inches further to the firewall and also put the engine in without a nose upness that could make the fan hit the shroud . Today I painted the swap mounts black to mack them disappear inspite of the fact bthat they are pretty . After that I took the seat out so as to make taking the steering column loose so as to be able to pull the boster and master loose from the firewall so to put the brakets and pedals for a stick shift as I havebe anle kept a 5spd from from a 4.3 truck Ive have for anout 10 years .I've also had to take the gages out of the dash to get that one bolt that you can't get out any other way . I haven't gotten the new pedals in yet but heres some pics . Next step after the pedals are in is cutting thr hole in the firewall for the hydraulic clutch"s master cylinder. One bummer , the flywheel for the 4.3 that I spent 35 bucks to refinish won't fit the 350 . The hole in the center is too small . Oh well .Later .
