what rad do you have in there you said a giffin rad and what electric fans are you running. nice truck bye the way. i'm have'in cooling problems with my 89 s-15.

This had an 86 corvette radiator. It didn't stay cool with the two little pushers, so I put in a puller from a ford taurus... very powerful fan. The griffin is what's in my current build. It's part number GRI-1-25271-X at summit racing and I am very happy with it. If you have an automatic trans, you'll probably want the version with a trans cooler. This one doesn't have one.

oh you bet dude! it just takes money lol haha what is your biggest problems in you conversions?

[MTchevy1]

Exhaust... always fighting leaks! If you use the hedman shorties, take my advice and get the gaskets that are a bunch of really thin layers of aluminum! Advance auto sells them, they're a bit pricey, but well worth it. They are thick and crush as you tighten the header bolts. Cooling can also be a pain, I've learned to just buy nice radiators from the start to avoid fighting overheating later. Griffin makes a nice universal rad for under $200. Trans x-member usually takes some work, too.

well a job well done bro

@eroi53 Thanks! I sold this one a while back, and have built 2 for myself since then and one for my girlfriend. The black one in my other vids is my current weekend warrior, and I have a 97 with a fuel injected vortec 5.7 as a daily driver. Have to put some pics and videos together for that one, total sleeper! Keep me updated on yours, as well!

@5tonjeep Awesome! My next one will be a 4x4 too, never done one of them before. I'm planning on doing a ZR2 pickup, will have a fuel injected vortec 350 since it's almost a direct swap and easy to keep emissions legal. Good luck with yours, be sure to take lots of pics!

I am building my first 4X4 S-10 Blazer V8 conversion.. The truck is a 2-door already prepped for the V8.. The body just needs some rust repairs.. Other-wise, it's ready.:_) I am going to use the truck for plowing, towing a trailer for my hauling/deliveries business..Plus mudding on the weekends.:_)

No problems that a hammer can't fix! You just need to pound it back a little if you use shorty headers, not a big deal at all. If the truck is a second generation, you shouldn't have to touch the firewall at all.
