I can barely change my own brakes, but i can't stop watching your build videos. My grandfather was a master mechanic and i think i have inherited the passion and respect that goes into building such intricate machines.

[@lillee4207]

I feel the same, my grandpa is a great bodyman, doesnt do it really nowadays, and my dad and him were a mechanical engineers, ive had some cool conversations with them. I remember being young talking to my dad about how cams and valve timing works, and how differentsls worked, how bombs from the airforce he worked on worked, and he always explained in different ways and got more advanced as i aged. He probably has more knowledge he hasnt shared, i love him. Great dude

The headers facing upward isn't just for turbos. In a s10 frame BBC headers require some work to get them in there. Even sbc headers are a tight fit. I have a sbc blazer and my headers almost rest on the frame. Couldn't imagine BBC headers. It's a fitment thing

[@cljerjr31]

[@stevefranklin9920]

I couldn't be as fortunate to find a 427 GM crate engine for $3500 like y'all did ! Else I wouldn't be adding up the cost of building my 454 !

[@joshskalicky779]

looks awesome n/a tho

[@blackericdenice]

Vortec engines get their hp from a hotter cam. Yes GM change the design of the heads but they had less swirl than before. Because they went to central port fuel injection. They didn’t need swirl anymore to mix air with fuel.

[@robertgiroux9891]

Yeah I'm going to get some of those E3 spark plugs.

[@dapsapsrp]

I wish I had had something even remotely close to this in my naught-two S10 along with the brake and suspension upgrades. I had the base model with the miserably weak, slow, noisy, insert other bad adjectives, 2.2L pushrod I-4 and the not-so-slick 5 speed manual.

[@chloehennessey6813]

You were basing your engine temp and flush time based off the oil pressure?

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

did this swap with a 509 bbc did not cut up truck radiator up front used turbo headers and down thru frame headers it can be done .

[@crazylarryjr]

Funny, this C10 looks like a S10. Also they are planning a twin turbo , the headers give it away

[@brandoncherry1651]

crazyjr and it went 14s to 13s ??? with a electric turbo ???? barrowed from Cletus McFarland?,?

[@ViperSRTnACR]

I was thinking the same thing in regards to how they have the headers facing forward like in a front mount twin turbo setup. It seems fairly certain that the next step of this project will be to add the turbo which should gain them well over 1,200 plus horsepower on that set up.

[@genemiller6837]

it was more or less to give room for exhaust that 427 takes up a lot of space plus maybe turbos

[@crazylarryjr]

@@genemiller6837, I have seen BB s-10's with conventional headers I agree it looked rough, but considering the V clamps, those are usually only used in high temp/pressure applications, meaning usually turbo. Since they have already done single turbo's over the years twinsies is the more and likely route

[@crazylarryjr]

@@bigboreracing356, had not seen this episode, don't have this channel on TV. Since it's only been posted on October 15th this year (2019), i assumed it was a new episode. and nowhere in the episode did they say it was a joke.

DON'T PUT E3 SPARK PLUGS IN A STOCK VEHICLES. THEY CAN OVER HEAT YOUR COIL PACKS AND SHORT THEM OUT. WHERE YOUR COMPUTER GETS OVERHEATED AND THEN IN TURN IT BURNS OUT. FOR STOCK APPLICATIONS USE THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURERS PLUGS TO BE SAFE.

To remove any water in the system.

[@dudestuff1557]

Weren’t the vortec motors introduced in 1995, not 1985?

[@xxRamD3yruxx]

Vortec V6 was introduced in 85, the same technology was applied to the Vortec V8 in 96. Vortec technology in V8 ran up to 2004 in full size vans and continued to power V6 GM trucks, with modifications, all the way into 2014.

Comment #2: for anyone wondering... it’s not a 4.3 V8 it’s actually a 4.3 V6

[@joshjarrett8896]

Are u guys rookies or what you need to pull through the water in the box cause if you burn out in the water it sprays all over inside the wheel well and can then drip back onto the tire sometimes enough drip can effect traction on the launch!!! Not to mention that is an S10 not a C10

[@cordellwalker1445]

how much for the 4.3

[@psygn0sis]

Finish? When the hell did they start it?

[@Edgar-Friendly]

I know. They haven't quite figured out yet how to release the videos in order.

[@allanb3222]

You can go on powerblocktv. Com and watch all the episodes.

[@ericbachmann8037]

Yeah, as everyone as stated, that truck is an S10....... not a c10. C10’s are full size. Is Evans waterless coolant ok for a daily driver? Like my 2001 Camaro SS?

[@v.e.7236]

Absolutely! Exactly what this stuff was made for - an aluminum engine that would suffer some degree of electrolysis from water based coolant. Evans eliminates corrosion caused electrolysis by eliminating the water. Daily drivers or show cars, its a good investment into your car's longevity. I use it in my S10 Blazer cast iron 4.3L and haven't experienced any issues and my engine temps are about 5 - 10 degrees lower than before the change. Also, the coolant color hasn't changed or mucked up. If I ever do the LS swap, I'd definitely use this stuff from the jump. FYI

[@ericbachmann8037]

V. E. Thanks for your reply. Yeah, the LS1 is what my SS Has in it. I’ve been using Dex-cool for as long as I’ve owned it (12 years) without issues. I’ve heard about Evans Waterless coolant, was just wondering if it would be a good choice for my LS1. Looks like I’ll be changing it in the very near future. Again, thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry but these truck is a dud. 11.90s at best running 7.70s depending on mph. Truck is heavy also which isn't helping. Even for a BB.
