Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Looks awesome. Wait till you drive it then you will really be glad you made the swap. The LS throttle response is amazing and also feels like it has twice the power over a carbed 350. I just pulled an old wore out 350 carb setup from my suburban and swapped in a 5.3 with a 4l60e trans. What a huge difference. Not to mention the fuel economy should increase as well.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

To use the car intake you gotta have the intake of course, need fuel injectors and rails from a car. Need an idler pulley relocator from dirty dingo. For driveby wire throttle you need a car water pump and dirty dingo water pump spacers. The plugs on the injectors from the harness are different. You can get adapters or buy the right connector and splice it on.

This is the exact set up I'm using except my parts are still in boxes on the garage floor. I'm looking forward to seeing your clearances.

So far so good. Only issue I had that was not for seen was the power steering pulley. It hit my steering box pretty bad. Had to order Dirtydingo.com smaller diameter pulley. I have sent them a lot of dough haha. I will post pictures of the pulleys once I get the brackets back from powder coating.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Looks great. I like how the firewall looks with rhino liner applied to it.
I also like how you took your time to hide wires and the computer.

That looks great. I'll have to order that pulley when I order my waterpump spacers from Dirty Dingo.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Got the motor running!!
Will run a lot smoother when i get the exhaust on it and 02 sensors in. Just a heads up for anyone doing an ls swap with used injectors. Depending on how long the injectors have sat up. I had to boil mine on the stove for 2-3 minutes to get them to work. Seems to be a common problem. Anyhow. Video below of the motor and gauges
First start on my LS swapped 1950 Chevrolet: https://youtu.be/P-mUDeJ9RpI

Layedout, looking sweet! Would you happen to have any pics of your tranny crossmember? I need to either fabricate or find one that will work on the LS/4l60.

I took a piece of 2x2 and welded tabs to the frame to bolt thru.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Beautiful, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. The cross member location is right at that point where the frame curves out and down so there are a few things going on in the same spot.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Seat is a little too high. Gonna redo the seat brackets. Seat is red because i planned to paint the truck, but the patina looks too cool to cover up! Red don't match the green but i got a green mexican blanket i might use to cover it. here is the blanket. Decisions.....



if i use the blanket i will have it pulled tight and clipped

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Thanks man, Those steering joints were a ton of money. Wasnt expecting to dump so much money on such a little part. Blanket will match the truck better. Red seat just looks so good!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Looks great. I remember someone on this forum used the simular seat and they cut a section out of the seat mount and rewelded it. You could not even really tell after that it was sectioned.

Keep up the good work.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

oh yeah, I was gonna ask you about the price. Those things are waaay overpriced, my friend just paid like $90 for one. I'v seen them much cheaper, still def those little nickel and dime parts you never expect. One of the LS swap down falls for sure, but its worth the little extra effort. The rack setups with IFS man that looks like a nightmare to do. I like your set up, pws on the s10 is def easier to get your steering linkage to.
