RUTZ OVERHAUL Friday, December 09, 2011 5:11 AM (permalink)

I busted my transmission at Shiloh and I had lots of problems with my fuel injection on the S10. So I decided to pull the motor and go with a true TBI engine, new wiring harness, computer , Hyperchip and new transmission. Ive got the new engine on the stand and started assembling it last night. Hopefully I will have it put together tonight. After the engine is done I will be installing a fresh TH350, new leaf springs upfront and a shackle reversal on rear. I will keep yall updated on the progress. Got alot to do before Megarun.

        Do you know what you were doing when this broke?

          The TH350 has been prone to cracking. There are several differant braces that GM made for this. It is caused from the torque of the motor. and the weight of the Tcase hanging on the tail shaft. I am gonna try to eliminate this problem. I put in all new motor mounts and trans. mounts before we went to Shiloh.

                          Merry Christmas,
                          I have been working on a 95 z71 and have new 35 nittos on motor metal rims 6 inch lift 4:56 gears with IFS. Does anybody know of a good alignment shop anywhere near north Ft Worth. I am looking to get it aligned next week or so.
