[@Thundarr995]

They didn't even mention that you need to add some extra wires for the #7 & 8 fuel injectors. If you have all the parts,you could finish this project by yourself in about a week. Well, if you worked on it 12 hours every day. 😂 Me and my buddy built his years ago. They didn't mention that the V6 4L60e is weaker than the V8 transmission. In fact, that was the first thing that broke on his truck. The rear axles don't last very long if you do burnouts. They're fun trucks, but you really have to upgrade a lot of stuff to make them reliable. Unless you're planning on driving it like grandma. 😂

[@scottsmith31]

Both of these guys peaked in the 90’s and never left

[@Steve_I]

It's amazing how many people don't realize how old this episode is. Trucks started in 2001 And Stacy David left the show in 2005. the automotive world has changed alot In the past 15-20 years. The custom tuning we have today was in its infancy and not readily available back then. It was all chips and box tuners.

[@hellcat1988]

Ahh, the early days of trucks... When Stacy had a mullet that refused to go away and the show was more content than commercials.

I haven't seen an episode with Mel is so long, it's great to see the old early shows I grew up with.

My sister had a '94 S10 Extreme witht the 4.3 v6. Run pretty darn good for what it was.

[@JohnDoe-ww2zf]

Didn't make the extreme in 94. The extreme came out after the refresh in 98. I think 99 was the first year

[@mcpeake78]

I traded a camaro with a blue print 350 in it. Loved that car. For a chevy S-10 blazer that had a LT1 engine in it. It was carborated not fuel injected. It was ok at first and then i started having trouble with the distributor coming loose and messing it up. Always fixing it. I finally traded it for V6 S-10 pickup. But i still miss the camaro. LOL. The build is looking awesome guys.

It's always nice to see where you come from and remember because at this point nobody's swaps LT ones into anything it would have been LS right off the get-go and not that the LT was bad the optispark was a pain in the ass that's for damn sure

[@tittledieselperformance]

For those saying 330hp on the silver-ado was low, it’s a non Teflon roots type blower on a stock early LS1, also that blower kit doesn’t have a heat exchanger system. It was the base package. That said 330 at the tire isn’t really bad for what it is. Now turbo and cam could crack 500 on 8psi with good tuning but for 4-5 psi and 160-200* intake temps 3 isn’t bad.

[@RealSteelStreet]

Actually, I'm apparently a jackass who comments based off a brain fart before paying enough attention so I apologize...YOU were actually correct because an older LT1 is what they were putting in the S10 and the 99 Silverado has the same year Corvette engine which is an LS1 🤷‍♂️
