The shifter is a little offset to the rear a bit more then stock, its the T5 chevy S10 with the spacer plate so i had to flip the bend forward to offset it forward a bit.... it worked out just fine. Im adjusting my seat back a bit do to the steering wheel is a bit high for me, but not now.

Next week, im going to get my fabric for the seats and paint them before i install.... pics soon.

I got the rear bags installed and plumed. I'm still sorting out where to hide the tank. I'm thinking the compressors will go on the top of the pass side front wheel well and the tank will go next to it. Not sure yet. Here it is with the rear on the bump stops, the front is waiting on the disc brake drop spindle kit.

No C-notch, just sitting on the factory bump stops. I'd like to notch it, but not sure that it's worth the trouble.

New to the forum. I just put a SBC 350/TH350 into a '74 P10. It also has factory PB, disc and drum. Did the P10's come with V-8s? Next is PS. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

I'd like to see the pics! I've thought about putting in a SBC too. We'll see...

Very cool! P10's only came with 6's. Start a new thread on it. Heck that would be a great introduction!

I've searched the board but can't find the "Start a Thread" option. What am I missing?

Go to section you want to put the new thread in (67-72 chevy gmc projects and builds) and you'll see before the first link start new thread.

[mike48]

Done. Thanks for the direction.

I'm almost done installing the air bags and disc brake with drop spindles.

[P10-001]

I need to start thinking of which wheels I want to use. The one I have stick out a little too far in the front and the fenders hit at 10psi or less.

awesome build

[P10-001]

Still working on all of the loose ends. Had to be a little creative to get the power brakes booster I got to fit. Biggest thing now is getting the shifter linkage set up.

[P10-001]

Does any one know if there is a freeze plug on the rear of a 250 L6, between the engine and trans?

[P10-001]

I recently decided to get a donor truck to get a engine and trans out of. I picked up a 1993 chevy 1500 with a 350 TBI and a 4L60E. I got my old engine and trans out (through the passenger door). This has to be one of the dirtiest frames I've wrenched on. Almost ready to start pulling the 350 out.

[P10-001]

The donor....

[BigDaddyV]

Wicked! Can't wait to see the new motor in!

[P10-001]

I got the frame cleaned up and painted, it was a huge mess!

[BigDaddyV]

Frames looking good!
From all the nastiness on the ground cloth, it looks like you had your work cut out for you.
Keep up the great work!

I almost filled a five gallon bucket

[BigDaddyV]

Wow! Thats alot o ....stuff......

[P10-001]

I got the 5.7 TBI to fit. Now I'm working out the fuel tank, pump and lines.

[P10-001]

Getting closer to starting the engine. Finished the fuel lines, gas tank and in tank pump, and even painted the interior. Waiting on the exhaust and driveshaft.

[P10-001]

I think this thing sits lower with the 350....
