[9F1F1A]

How do you make a 355 Chevy smallblock?

[mforcum]

COLD AIR INTAKE?? ARE WE WATCHING THE RITE VIDEO?? CAUSE ALL I SEEN WAS A DIRTY ASS PAPER FILTER AIR CLEANER (CHROME?? WHO KNOWS?? CANT TELL THROUGH ALL THE DIRT) WITH SOME EDELBROCK STICKERS ON IT ...YOU GOT THE ELITE SERIES VALVE COVERS WHERE IS DA MATCHIN GROOVED AIR CLEANER ? .......WOW I GOTTA GO BACK TO THE BED COVER...ALL THEM HOLES IN THE BED.. DUDE IT JUST KILLS ANYTHING YOU ARE TRYIN TO DO ..IT WOULD LOOK MUCH BETTER LAYIN ON THE GROUND........

[mforcum]

WTF!!! ARE SERIOUS!!!??? TAKE THAT POS BED COVER OFF THERE!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? THAT LOOKS LIKE SHIT!...ATLEAST PUT SOME SLATS IN DA BITCH SO YOU DONT HAVE A BIRD BATH BACK THERE !! CMON MAN! UR MAKIN US S10 GUYS LOOK BAD

[jannasman87]

no way thats an 88 s10 looks more like an 84-85 with that old interior the 88s had the new dash in them, and weres the cold air intake? lol unless youve got a dyno sheet tp prove thats a 400 horsepower 355 i call bullshit no offense and im not hating on your truck just stating the obvious , i like the convertible top thats kinda neat

[MrLjc1989]

suave thats a one of knd s10

[bartman427]

that P.O.S. WOULDNT RUN A 15 ON YOUR LIFE

[bigryan991]

i love these old s-10s!

[hppyadam]

NICE MOTOR BUT I DONT LIKE CONVERTABLE DONT LOOK GOOD ON A TRUCK.

[qrk5001]

Pretty cool. I've never been a fan of tiny trucks but this is tight. Convertible is spelled with an 'I' by the way

[Xyrozven]

nice truck but points off for automatic :(

[jerryscamaro1]

well i put small blocks in 2 different 82 model S10s and a 97 s-10 and i had to beat the fire wall in on the pass side only and only at the bottom for the header flange to make it through and that was it

[1vaughnracing]

anyone had any luck running a mini spool in a gm 7.5 third member??

[ziegler223]

love it

[TraditionalChevy]

No firewall mods at all. The motor is just longer in the front if you leave your 700r4 in place. you may have to run a electric fan is all.

[chevysbc1]

good sounding 355 nice truck not much for convertable tipe I jut like having extra suport around me if somthing goes rong but looks sweet.

[357cutty]

mine is convertible, but soft top

[d3ll001]

i think i just came.....

[danaandbillsmith]

Take that Edelbrock carb off and throw it in the trash, and put a Holley on it!!! Edelbog's are junk... the design is from a Carter AFB Dodge carb that Edelbrock redesigned and F'D up... I promise a 650 double pumper will wake it up

[rickdragster09]

@danaandbillsmith nothing cant beat a holley i love your attitude towards edelbrock carbs man i cant stand those carbs myself

[philthyco]

@danaandbillsmith holley is better for racing..but the edelbrock is better for the street..its a good carb ..no power valves to blow out..and less tuning..i have both holley and edelbrock..im not baised but holley makes a little more power but edelbrocks can be tuned to make just as much..i want a holley 750 dp with annular boosters instead of downleg squirters because the annular boosters produce a cone shaped shower of gas..check them out they make alot of more power threw the whole rpm band.

[driftbuddy]

dont listen to the haters bro ur truck is sweet im doing a v8 converson on a s-10 same year as urs

[godstrong316]

this this is horribly ugly my friend,, u deff need to loose that old bed cover and ricer body kit.. and get that exhaust redone... it sounds leaky..now my 93 with a 383 is a beast.. 11.20 in the 1/4

[tpagel2006]

convertable?.....never heard of those before....iv heard of a convertible

[khenry1991]

the V8 S10's had a 0-60 rating of 4.1 seconds

thats hella quick for a damn truck

[konascrap888]

where'd you get that stat from?

ive been lookin for 0-60 times...

[khenry1991]

i had read it in a book i think called 1001 greatest cars. had a picture of a Veyron on the front cover. The V8 S10 was in there and it said its 0-60 was 4.1 seconds.......................­sounds too good to be true though doesnt it =/

[Delta9son]

Why are you guys talking about ford? they are pieces of shit they fall apart easy and they are just gay.

[Metaliica474921]

Agreed on that one fords are shit and rust badly, just look around when your driving. But beautiful truck you got there !

[Delta9son]

right on i got my s-10 with 350, 400 turbo trans took out radio, and all that to listen to my straights.

[BassRacerx]

like the body kit you put on it looks nice on this truck. i want to do this to my 92 s10 but from what i gather it costs around 7 grand would rather buy a fast car for that and just leave my truck the way it is for haulin stuff

[poontangification]

I'm selling a ground effects kit off of an 89 S-10 Cameo for $1000.

[lokrat2]

did they make 355s out of the factory? I know they're 350s bored 30 over, but did they make 'em out of the factory?

[markljesse]

no thay did not from the factory the small blocks that chevy made are 265,283,302,305,307,350and 400 and from thoes you can mak 377,383,355 and others that i cant remember lol

[diplomatic4]

ford did a better job with the 289, and the 302 5.0, other than the original 69 camaro with the 350 thats the only chevy beast in my book! but then again im old school so if ya ask me when mustang came with the 302 it was a beast!

[jerywilliams]

Cold air intake means the edelbrock intake has a an open air passage under the plenum for cold air to pass through. Not sure how effective that design was. A tach setting has nothing to do with the way an engine idles, it measures the rpms of the engine.

[mplsfarmerjon]

who did the top job?is it akit?

[MAX85C10]

get a 93 grille

[potc420]

Thats the dash from an 82 with the pointed guage lenses

[allstar467]

.030 my bad

[allstar467]

raykeens, a 350 is a smallblock v8, a 355 is just a regular 350 but punched out like .30 i think

[JROCKSCAMARO]

sounds like shit

[kaija24]

sounds like it has a miss when its idling and when the rpm still low.

[connor1126]

where did you get the body kit from or is it just the syclone body

[sc0tt1shguy]

that isnt the syclone body kit, syclones have more of an angle on the front flares

[lavaman10]

I have a 99 s10 ext cab ls....if your gonna get a v8 truck, make sure it's 4 door....

[cosmicpope55]

why? im pretty sure a 2 door is lighter, there fore faster

[raykeens]

you siad it has a cold-air intake at 1:09. I think you've been working on them ricers too long. Don't brag about a muscle truck with a cold-air intake, you won't impress many people

[sc0tt1shguy]

if it had a cowl i could maybe see where he got confused but ya, im with you on this one

[creepyoleman]

she aint a looker

[ThrashCore124]

NICEE!!! I have an s10 blaizer which is a 2002 model

[charleshermanpipesjr]

so why do you have the tach set on 4 cylinder with it loping like that is sounds about like 650 rpm idle

[SpectorRay1]

WTF??

[charleshermanpipesjr]

no shit but hes got his tach set on 4 or 6 cyl so he can idle it down to make it sound like its loping

[dropeddime89]

a 350 is a v8

[barryadkins49]

I would never need a radio......I would rather listen to the rumble of the engine.......good job dude.

[thesopas]

muy bonita eh'!!..

[aries2110]

S10's are not badly built trucks. They are as well built as any other chevy. It's the fact that people expect them to do the same stuff as a V8 Silverado or Avalanche. The S10 is a light duty truck, not a god damned 1 ton.

[Rat1Racer]

cold air intake? ...... looks like standard four barrel induction to me.....is that a stock cam in a 355?

[mstrmopar]

Why would it not be a stock cam..A 355 is only a 350 bored .030 over and theres a good chance it was once a 2 barrel anyway.

[NateDoner]

that doesnt mean it has a stock cam you dumbass

[3pedalhotrod]

The vert top is very tastefully done. It is hard to tell that it is there. Love the T/A rims too. Nice truck

[footballplayer2012]

i love s10s i own a 1989 blue s10 i no a lot of people that love s10s so why did chevy stop makein them

[octain01]

Sounds Good! Do you have a older model S-10 dash in it? You said it a 88, The dash on my 88 looks different.

[roycearandolph]

yeah i have an 83 and thats the same dash i have... i like the older 6 guage dashes a lot

[Zwitchau]

just one question: If chevy s10's so popular, why does everyone fix one up then want to sell it?

[starbucksmunky]

S10's weren't very well built trucks, I guess.

They had a lot of problems. My stepdad's S10 blew up on the dyno. It might have been just a lemon truck, but it doesn't even go over 55 mph now!

[extorter]

sounds beautiful, needs to be a diff color though lol =]

[VWJETTY]

lower it

paint job

ditch the cold air intake....

and...

you'll be good =D

[muscletruckdude]

what cold air intake

[bchaves0]

wrong vid budd.. stick with your VW

[chevypower123]

this guys an idiot... Cold air intake???

[kustomuscle]

cold air intake? WTF?

[moparmaniac21]

What brand is that tach?

[chevypower123]

maybe a SUN tach

[yamaharaptor686]

fugly

[beentryin]

sounds doggy on low end

[joe224568]

Not one of a kind. I got one and its a lot better looking.

[ricardofuentes66]

aa super perra ke esta la camioneta la mamada

[tarnish88]

so i have a 305 thats been souped a bit. its a 2nd gen block i believe? dont quote me! but, its out a 89 silverado that used to be throttlebody injection. i had to buy the weiand intake to convert it to carb. cause, of the angle of the headbolts in the center for the intake? you followin me? anyway. i picked up a set of 492 camelbacks from a junkyard today. and, there in great fuckin shape! and, only for 50 bucks.!im wondering if anyone knows if i can slap these heads on my 305?

[4568923]

yes u can the bolt patterns are the same

[peter355camaro]

They were found on 1970 LT-1 engines.  They had 2.02/1.60" valves, 64CC combustion chambers, DO have accessory holes, intake port volume should be 161CC's, exhaust port volume should be 62CC's. These heads have double hump casting marks. This particular casting head was also available as an "over the counter" head from GM in straight or angle plug configurations. you will loose a litle bit of compression compared to a 305 head wich is 58cc combustion chamber (492 heads are 64cc)

[peter355camaro]

with the 492 head there will be a better air/fuel flow that's an important thing..........so definatley it will fit on your 305.....it's a good head swap....good luck :)

[kustomuscle]

get a 350 short block out of the yard also. performance difference (305 to 350) is worth the extra time and money.

[Honda4wheelin]

Niicceeee that tachometer is pretty sweet tbh lol

[chrisutubecom]

Excellent video! I just bought a V8 car art poster from cartech49 dot gr. Great fun art for my garage wall!

[evhgl87]

ive got a 92 s10 ive been thinking about putting a 327 in, but i keep hearing rumors from garage junkies, that i have to beat back the firewall more than 2 inches to make it fit (700R4 tranny and all)

anyone heard of this?

[rastopchin]

Honestly I'm not sure about a 1992 Chevy S10...but I know that you could fit a Chev 350 sbc into a 1987 s10 without any firewall mods...I would suggest going on some S10 forums or even on cardomain and asking some people that had done that mod.

Good Luck!

[Monst3r177]

@rastopchin i had a 96 s10 with a 355 with no firewall mods

[classictractors]

advance adapters sells a kit for 350 swap for a 2.8L for about $100 check out the web site.

[tarnish88]

yeah dude.... i have a 92 S-10 shortbed with a 350 and 700R4 in it.... i have to pound the firewall back a little over two inches. the neat thing is when you clear that room if you dont have the money for headers for the swap the stock exhaust manifolds will clear the frame. i would reccomend running two into one exhaust though! run the tubing high along the bed with some heatsheild otherwise the axle will knock them loose

[camaro454us]

if u have a 4.3 in it all u have to do is change it out all brackets from 4.3 will fit on 327 4.3 is 350 less front 2 cylinders no beating i know of

[analog56x]

middle 2 cylinders.

and yea, they have the same bellhousing bolt pattern. sbc and the 4.3 are interswappable

[PLUMPER101]

@evhgl87 my friend also has a 92 and its a rumor used too they had too or a small block wouldnt fit now they make a engine swap kit with new motor mounts and all that good stuff

[Weme69s10]

@evhgl87 you dont have to beat back the firewall if you buy the correct motor mounts

[chevydually454]

@evhgl87 A 92 is basically the same as an 87, that way to 93. There are kits that assist you in installing v8 in these S10's without moving the firewall. If you stay with a small block, you'll be fine. Not saying you won't have fitment issues possibly with headers, but that can be worked with as well. Check your forums, read all you can find.

[Captain1soapy1dick]

Impressive whats it's /4 mile time ?

[rastopchin]

She ran 1/4 in lower 11s

[lelandsdad1]

@rastopchin No way

[LvNvRado]

@rastopchin you got a vid of that?

[rockstartim]

what size cam you running? I gotta 355 im halfway done with now for my s10. HP? What do the ricers have on you at the stop lights?

[rastopchin]

Not sure what size cams she had...but the ricers were very familiar with the way my tail lights looked lol

Little over 400 horse...

[derryet]

thats prety nice...i dont like that thing under the front bumper..but im now a low rider guy..check outmy s10 vid.. took to s10s one with bent frame and built one nice one..i like it.i just got the 4.3 v6.. what mods do you have to do for big block?

[rastopchin]

To do a big block mod you would have to do quiet a few mods...but to fit a chevy 350 small block you basically just tear everything out of the engine bay that may get in the way fab new motor mounts and radiator supports and you are good to go =)

[stowsea]

sounds nice but you didnt do the convertible job very well

[rastopchin]

Very true, I bough the truck in this condition and there was no step to convert it back to normal but i think the cab should have been reinforced before it was cut

[swags7]

You just need some body and interior work and that truck will be niiiiiiiiiiiice.

[rastopchin]

for sure=) but I sold it and i believe the guy that bought it pulled the motor and put it in his camaro...so the truck is history

[SimpleYetEffective]

Did you have issues with the top leaking?...My roommate and I built the motor up in a S10 with the 350 swap,and the previous owner had the top chopped to come off like that too. It leaked like a mofo!

[rastopchin]

Same story, well and in case with my top (it had really sh*ty clamps holding it down. I leterally blew the top under hard acceleration lol

[SimpleYetEffective]

Ouch....theres 1 reason to go topless!

[shupirate13]

ouch bro open up that exhaust. its struggling to breathe but nice truck pretty sick

[campaug]

needs more cam! lol naw thats probably right on the line of streetable. gotta have some vacuum for the brakes

[mistfree15]

you can hear it cam-in out

[Corey497]

esh, runs rough

[stal3ilo]

Called cams and a header

[userx100]

Still Sounds rough I think..Doesnt sound like normal lobeing to me... Could be the net tho.

[ttperformance1]

Duh the cam is probably just a light cam, you can hear the lobes if you are a v8 guy. V8's can sound "rough" but run hard, a 4 banger or street ricer needs to think before speaking.

[aswhole111]

hahahahahahahahahah
