Re: My version of the s10 swap
Three questions, one is did you absolutely have to move the motor back? I ask because I'm a tall guy and my other truck is a panel truck so just moved my seats back for my height. If you don't HAVE to move the motor back I was hoping to extend my firewall forward to fill the space and gain some inches of interior space.
Second question, during reassembly did you simply just hook everything back up from the S10 (minus the stuff you deleted) and run it?
Third, are you using the big fenders that were original to the truck? The look to have the smaller wheel openings that the one on my 1ton.
One suggestion is, if your S10 is new enough to have OBD2 port you could keep the classic gauge look by using a cheep android based cellphone and install a program called Torque and then get a bluetooth obd2 adapter. This will let you setup a digital dash board that you can put in place and then remove at will. This is the direction I am planning to go when I start my swap.
And thanks for the inspiration!
