Alright, there's a lot of options on the table right now for which way to go on the truck. We know we want it to be carburated/v8, but we're having a hard time picking which engine and whether or not to lower the compression and go boosted. These are our main competitors. If you have another...

Does anybody know where to find a write-up on properly removing the engine and tranny out of a 2wd so I don't wind up smashing any of the components with a chain or whatnot? I haven't been able to find one on the search engines and I the only things I have left to disconnect are the engine and...

Anybody every deal with them? At the bottom of their page they have an upgraded/lighter front brake assembly made by strange eng. apparently. The picture's in black and white so I don't know how up to date it is. http://www.smithperformance.com/catalogue_s10_sub.html Just Curious. I'll...

How flexible is powdercoating if I do it to the frame vs. regular paint. One of my friends briefly mentioned that the second I flex the frame the first time I launch, all that expensive paint is going to crack apart. Is this true? I know that a lot of you AWD guys like to paint the frame, but I...

I pretty much know what I have to remove on the engine to get it loose so that I can take it out, but what all do I have to detach in order to have the engine and tranny all come out at once? The rear shaft's already out and besides the shifter cable, what else do I need to take off? Any help is...

Well, it's finally happening, and I'm getting somewhere on the truck. I've waited for roughly a year just to get these parts together, and I'm glad to finally see it come into fruition. :D First off though, I want to list the sponsors so that other SyTy/SGT owners can have the same leads that I...

Does anybody know where to find one of these? I haven't been able to find one so far on our site, or the couple of other sites I've had time to check. I'm to the point to where I only have to remove the wiring/exhaust and bed before I can take apart the drivetrain. If anybody could find a nice...

Could one of you knowledgable individuals enlighten me about dry sump oil pans? A couple of shops I've talked to have mentioned running dry sump, and I know it's to keep oil pressure all throughout the engine for hard turns or hard launches, but that's about it. Basically, what's it take to run...

Has anyone on here seen or can find a topic on this board or another s10 board that reviews the CBR front disc conversion kit for 2wd vehicles? It sounds like something good but I'd really like to know if one or more things are going to have to be hacked up to make it fit like I've heard for the...

A friend of mine is looking to buy a 79 Camaro that his boss has decided to get rid of since it's just sitting in his garage, and has been for a rather long time. He showed me a couple of pictures of it from the outside, and it looks rather taken care of. Now here's where I got lost...

J/K. hehehe. Actually, I'm on a trip with my dad, and one of the things we had to do was take his truck to a shop in Olympia to have his FAST computer fixed. The first thing I saw when they rolled up the garage door to put it on the dyno was a Blk/Gry Syclone. My jaw dropped, of course, then I...

Which is better when it comes to a-arms? Bushings or Rod Ends? It's time to buy the front suspension and I'm curious as to which you'd choose and why because I don't know if a hundred extra dollars for rod ends is worth it or not.

So, I'm looking for wheels and I did some photo editing to see what Z06's would look like on the GT if it were painted pure red. I don't have anything fancy like Adobe, so I had to just mess with the saturation/hues/brightness until I got a color that resemble stock red. (If anybody can do...

Has anybody ever heard of them? I didn't think anybody made a tubular/coilover kit until I saw these. Do you think they work with different brand upper control arms? I don't see that they sell any of their own. Would be nice to have Coilover's all around. On a completely seperate note. The...

One of the things I need to buy for the truck is a new fuel pump. Right now it has the 6 in it, but in about a year, it'll have the LS2 in it. If I buy a Walboro 255, will that be enough to supply the 8 when it gets put in, or would I just be wasting my money? If so, what should I buy to supply...

Mkay, if I had the time to search, then I might have been able to find a few answers, but since I'm only home for a couple of minutes, and I've been thinking about this today, I'm going to post it. What are the advantages/disadvantages of going coilover/tubular A-arms? Same question, only with...

Looks like I'm just going to collect the parts myself then just have a shop install them. Yeesh, look at these prices from the first shop that actually got back to me... Item Qty. Rate Total Ford 9" rear end housing...

I haven't ever heard anyone mention anything about them. I'm finally getting around to finalizing what I want frame, suspension and axle wise, and was wondering if these are even applicable to us. Talking it over with dad, he thinks (but isn't sure) that we have a full frame, and thus, couldn't...

Hello all... my name is Chris and I'm a photoshop illiterate... *Hello Chris* Anywhoo.. I'm debating over what colors to paint the truck and I don't know how to use photoshop to the degree of skillmanship required to do such a thing. I know Marty had some things done, but I was hoping for...

I don't think I mentioned it the first time I saw it, but back this spring I was on I-84 going to school when I saw a guy driving a Red/Gray Typhoon out of the Airport complex... I almost ran off the road from staring. I almost pursued him but thought it wise not to be late for class (yet again...
