Yes i did mean on the p/u... sorry.

If u dont mind tell me more bout the project motor.... Im a crazy gearhead

TapaTalk ROCKS!!!!

It's a sbc350 out of a late 70's GMC truck. I'm not a crazy engine guy, so I'm having a friend who knows engine give me direction. I bought a pretty mild cam for it, and those heads are from a 90's camaro or corvette (I don't remember). I have 700r4 automatic transmission for it. It should be a real nice runner. I have no intentions on racing...this is gonna be an inbetween mild/wild show truck driver. I'm not planning on trailering it anywhere, unless my family wants to go. It will be driven on every sunny day possible.
The color of the truck will be two tone blue (stock color) over silver. So the engine will sort of match.

that is one bad ass s-10

Thanks! When I lowered it last summer it fought me the whole way. Had to replace ball joints and they wouldnt tap out...had to drill them out. Seemed like 3 out of 4 bolts in the leaf springs were all seized up and I had to have them pressed out. But it was worth it!

I know this is hard to see but I'm curious if this is normal. I've only had the small v8's before. This seems like a LOT of water coming from the A/C. I know it is water - it is not gas or antifreeze. I am running the A/C hard - its 100 degrees and really humid...it just seems like a lot.
