On the name brands the cone usually is always inside. But with this I seem to have better fitment on out side.

@@nicholsperformance92 I see

If the trans is from a V6, then yeah you should have no problem.

Thx man! It is still 4x4. actually just checked today to make sure it all still worked. It definitely added some complication and a lot more tighter fit in some places.

Was wondering same thing, that's awesome 👍

It has been (and still is) alot of work but OMG it's so much fun to drive!! I've got so many head turns, (as you know yellow definitely helps lol) you wouldn't believe.

Thanks man! It is a lot of fun and I just missed driving it in general, but now I get alot more 👍 and attention!

@@nicholsperformance92 I would love to see more of the idle quality and sound. Still wanting to do the same cam for my Pontiac’s vortec. It’ll be carbed so I can play with tuning a little easier tho 😂

I definitely plan to. it won’t be until I get a finished tune tho. It won’t idle lower than 825-850 which I think is definitely a little high (still sounds pretty decent tho) I tricked the computer to get it to go to the stock 650ish for a minute and that’s definitely too low now with the cam.. soo 750 should be the sweet spot. I’m also curious about adding just a touch of artificial timing chop.

@@nicholsperformance92 Yeah I should be able to play around with mine since it’s carbed and regular distribution. I wanna get the perfect sound and performance out of it.

I can move it right now, I have it where it is pointing dead on #1. it seems to be ok, but these motors have setting that needs to be within 4 degrees from what it sees as “0”.

You’re looking for the camshaft position retard offset it’s +\-2* from zero at normal engine temp Then you’d want to have a crankshaft/camshaft relearn done Clone tech2 could do it And advance GM pid setting for torque pro will work and I believe dash command also Some distributors have the adjustability with the hood down others don’t (but you can swap them)

@brandongary7649 I got dash command and the dongle, it won’t connect to the truck for some reason 😖.

Haha, as you seen starting is rough but once she's moving it's like a freight train. So much fun to drive! And now clam and surprising fuel efficient on longer trips🤷‍♂️. Cam is summit 8802 with over sized 1.6 rockers .560/.555 , gear is stock 3.73 and the rebuilt stock v6 s10 4l60 with a couple improvements.

Yes, the lock out can be a real buzz kill sometimes.

I’m working on selling the engine itself, but there wasn’t really anything done to it besides a TUNE and the exhaust system.

Just had the 4l60 that was behind the original V6 rebuilt, and a couple extras

@@nicholsperformance92 so it’s the original zr2 trans and bolts right up to the v8

You got it

@@nicholsperformance92 ok makes sense thanks just trying to get some more info doing a 305 swap appreciate it

No problem man, as I’m sure you know the 4.3 and sbc are the same basically so the trans can go either way. Good luck man. Make sure you don’t over rpm that trans with that zippy 305. 6400 Max shift on the 4l60/R4

No problem with polite criticism. So a major thing to keep in mind is that the factory didn’t use deck plates on these engines from the factories and we all know they ran forever. I’ve actually been waiting for this comment for a while…There’s one cylinder I kind of poached, but the other seven are actually really close to acceptable specs. Now that the engines running, compression seems to be pretty close as well. The only thing I can’t do here is “aline hone”.

Haha I'd love to see all the s10s get v8s!

I still use a bubble balancer with great success

Times crazy like that ha. I noticed I uploaded the old tire vid in the same month... Didn't even realize it was that close.

Very good point! Another reason why I push the whole cleaning thing.

Good point, I think mines reasonably close, but I’ll double check next time to be sure.

I was on small 23ish MT et street r’s mounted on 15 inch neon sxt wheels.

@@nicholsperformance92 runs pretty good, I ran 13.1 with chinese semislicks

Nice! I have rims for slicks, just gota get the meats. Ill really be able to dump it on the line, I think it's going to pick up alot.

I’ve heard of that! Nice easy trick.

@nicholsperformance92 great for hard to reach spots

I mean its been bench tuned. Defiantly not a stock tune. I'm getting some things finished up on it, and then off to the Dyno! Defiantly some fine tunning to do just like any new motor.

It's crazy how many different things G80s made their way into!

My pleasure bud. I’m sure that V6 will be happy to be retired from that big rig haha.

I used to work around quite a few big name tire machines, and I seen them all stall and slip on all kinds of different things. Some of those suckers are just really stuck on there. Anyhow, so far from what I can tell, this machine is very comparable considering it’s a lot less money. You can tell It’s made cheaper in a few areas, but it really does seem to work just fine. Even the balancer, it’s obviously simpler no fancy TV screens, lasers, or anything, but at the end of the day really does do the same job!

Haha. I hope not. I did some work to this axle in another video and it definitely locks up without as much violence. and has a reinforcement cover. Anything can happen tho.

@@nicholsperformance92 I point out your fix for the bomb to other people and really like the fix you came up with, with that said good luck with the bomb..............

I hear ya, but there’s no guarantee you have a “quality shop” that’s not going to mess it up either. There’s good ones out there for sure. If you only needed to go .010 over just for a rebuild or something it’s honestly not even that much work. Especially if you’re already doing other work to the engine yourself.

@@nicholsperformance92 I get it, there's crummy machine shops, but there's a place I trust that I use. I drop off a dirty block, and get back a clean/decked block machined to whatever I asked for. That just looks like a ton of time and work. I u/s that the idea of the channel is all DIY, but whew.... I'll strip the block, drop it off then go back home and do everything else. I mean... The only grinding I do myself is the valves & valve seats. Just looks like that took a lot of time.

You're not wrong! defiantly some work and time. if you have a good shop that charges a fair amount go for it. I mainly did this just as a proof of possibly. 99% of ppl seem to think u absolutely can't do this, it will never work. for some reason... Thanks for the view and input, bud.

@@nicholsperformance92 I think you proved it's possible and not entirely complicated, just time consuming and maybe a little tiring. Believe me I'm all for DIY as much as possible. When the A/C quit in my last house, I learned very quickly how to do HVAC. That's how I am with everything. There's just some things I would rather do the easy way. I would never pay someone to build an engine, there's way too much information available online for free (you being a good example), but this seems a step too far for me. I'm looking for a Bridgeport for other projects, but that wouldn't help much with an engine block. I could see maybe welding up a rack that would hold the drill in place maybe. Hey-there you go. Next time you do this make a rack to hold the drill. That would save your arms. And use an aquarium pump to feed lubricant in. I'm seeing it in my head now..... You could actually start with a drill press and make the top able to adjust the angle and have a table that you could raise and lower. That would be a time saver and a lot easier on your arms. I've actually made shit like that before. I used to have a fox body mustang and found the front springs to be a PITA to install so I made a contraption to install the springs. I included it when I sold the car tho.

That’s funny you mentioned the drill press.. I actually made an entire set up out a large drill press, I had a fluid recycling system and all the works. Actually spent a lot of time making a prototype honestly, in the end it was way too complicated and I was better off just using the dang drill 🤦🏻.

No, just bent them alittle to the side. Being close to things like that is part of the reason why I wrapped my headers.

Thanks for the info

383 made from vortec 5.7. Afr heads. And this 8802 cam. Plus all of the supporting mods.

350 vortec is a easier and cheaper swap. All of the ACC swaps right over form the v6 even A/C and the harness only need a few changes. plus 0411 PCM bench tune. Thats why I went this route instead of LS.

summit 8802 cam and hughes 2500 stall HUP-22-25L for any one that was wondering.

Thanks man, I had some more hands on work for you to see this time haha.

Facts

Thanks guys!

Agree, always enjoy his content.

It’s very close, but it does clear! The rubber lines that is, the hard lines coming out of the top of the compressor clear no problem.. I was surprised!

Hell yeah, twin trucks.

@nicholsperformance92 hell yea! I post most of my stuff on my Instagram. Hoping to do the swap around December...

What’s your insta @

@@nicholsperformance92 gudethes10

​@nicholsperformance92 it's gudethes10

Clean and clear!

Thanks man, the only reason I stuck with stock intake is to keep the whole computer system working like stock. I wanted everything in this truck like normal. I got it running pretty strong now. It's basically a vortec with 195 AFR heads flat top pistons and suporting mods.

@@nicholsperformance92 Aren’t you running the summit 8802 as well?

Who did your tune? We are currently building a very similar engine and could really use your same tune.

@@WELDERUPGARAGE I used blackbear performance for my current mostly stock truck. Mr. Nichols used PCM4Less

@@WELDERUPGARAGE like Clark said, 2 most known pcm mail in's right there. if your as moded as me just keep in mind its not gona be 100% perfect off the shelf... you will need dyno tune or good street tune (if u put a AFR gauge on it), to finish it off. Good luck man!

I'm slightly confused I got kids distracting me right now. I have and 03 Ls 2.2. Do I need to order a different ecu?

Check if it says 0411 on the bottom then ur good if not, off to the junkyard or Ebay.

@@nicholsperformance92 thanks

I'm for sure making another idle vid when I get it fine tunned. I know it can chop alittle.

@@nicholsperformance92 I would love to see that. Also, thanks for the messenger response. I’ll be sure to watch for updates on the channel!
