How to get on the freeway in a V8 S10

[@mattw8809]

Safety margin is increased by getting up to hwy speeds earlier.

[@grego934]

Virginia is famous for drivers who will only do 40 miles an hour while entering the interstate then once on the interstate finally get up to speed while nearly causing an accident

[@mattw8809]

@@grego934 I've seen that, in Maryland as well cause the cops hide and give tix for 1 MPH over speed limit

[@IWannaGoSailing]

Same in Kentucky. Everyone is out for a Sunday drive seven days a week.

[@manitoba-op4jx]

@@IWannaGoSailing great, lower speeds increase time to react and when something goes wrong there's less kinetic energy at play

[@dywmtcoaeyptycomf]

​@@manitoba-op4jx Crash risk does not necessarily increase with an increase in speed, but is likely to increase with an increase in speed variance - Virginia DOT. So people driving well below the rate of flow increase odds of an accident. You're applauding people increasing accident risk.

Mildly Jelly. I had a super nice '96 Orvis ZJ with the 5.2 magnum and so badly wanted to 5.9/nv3500 swap it. Miss the old girl, wish I'd never sold it. Hopefully one day I can find myself a 69-71 duster in decent shape with the 'ole leanin' tower-o-power for cheap. Discovered that Hughes Performance makes a "360/426 stroker kit for the magnum roller motors that makes like 650hp and isn't terribly expensive to build. That'd be a neat combination!

[@5.9manualzj]

the NV wouldnt put up with that. lol. the stock 5.9, already, from what i've heard, has slightly more torque than this transmission was tested to be able to handle. and there is basically no aftermarket for the NV3500, so what you see is kinda what you get with them. most of the time, any self respecting 5.9 is gonna make that thing hurt. letalone anything w anymore power.

[@montehuseby1640]

Yes sir, you would use this same nv3500 transmission, but from a 4.3/ 5 speed 4x4 S10. You will need a flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate for a 4.8/ 5 speed silverado

[@timthemechanix]

@@montehuseby1640 Yes, I have the 4.3 4x4 nv3500. And that 4.8 flywheel and clutch kit is what I need to know. This 4.3 runs great, still drive it every day. I paid 600 for this '96 3 years ago because it was missing 5th and reverse. Tore the trans down and replaced the shift fork $52 part. I did a 350 into a zr blazer for someone else and I wasn't impressed. All the work and cost of headers, radiator, oil pan... maybe if it had the 5sp instead of auto, because this 4.3 with 5sp beats the 350 auto off the line. Thanks again.

[@timthemechanix]

Also, just today I bought a '92 Blazer 4x4 v6 vin z with a 5 speed in pretty good shape and drove it 35 miles home at 80mph for $1000. Have to id the trans in it.@@montehuseby1640

[@AndrewPruteanu]

​@timthemechanix I have a 4.3 5 speed s10 too, they're pretty rare. Mines 2wd though, I love that little truck but I messed up the engine in it, it still runs but it knocks and squeals like crazy, you can't kill the 4.3. I really want to LS/350 swap it.

[@timthemechanix]

Do you know if it has the nv3500 5 speed? They say some come with a different 5speed. I know this one is tough as nails and the same that comes behind the big v8's. I bought this one and sold a ''94 that came with a vortec v6 that had tbi. The engine had thrown rod and I found it unusual because the vortec heads on later 4.3 had spider injectors and I would have had to change ecms. Also the '94 vortec had a metal timing cover without crank sensor, so I put the .94 heads onto a 1999 4.3, then used the metal timing cover after a few mods. Ignition system was also the pre-spider with cap wire pointing upward. It also had the 5 speed with manual shift trans case. But the only way I would install an LS on a manual trans would be remove the front clip and cab. 2 wheel not so bad, I guess but 4x4 is too much.@@AndrewPruteanu
