    They tell me Im crazy......

    Hey guys,

    First of all Im surprised Ive never come across this site before.

    Well, about my projects.....

    Ive always been a big fan of horsepower. It all started with a 96 S-10 for a winter truck, and then the minitruckin bug bit me, so a buddy of mine helped me decide what to do with the truck to get it closer to the ground. At some point in time I decided to stray alittle from the typical bagged S-10 and got my hands on an LS1 to make the truck more my style.

    Project LS10 was put on hold and almost forgot about while being buried in my garage amongst all my junk. Meanwhile I came across a deal on a 91 Syclone. After driving the Sy for a few months the waste gate stuck closed and cracked my block, I DESTROYED the motor.








    Soooo, it worked out pretty good that I didnt do much work on the S-10, because now the LS1 has been donated to my Syclone project and will be getting a pair of twins, while remaining AWD.

    Id still like to drop a V8 into the S-10, but thats not high on my priority list right now.

    I also have a 2004 Crew Cab Sonoma for a daily driver that I want to extend the frame on to put a standard size S-10/Sonoma bed on, and Im thinking about dropping a 5.3 in there when the time comes.

    Good to hear you getting that bad boy up and running again. What are you gong to do with the stock turbo parts mainly exhaust manifolds? I would buy them from you if you are going to sell them since mine are cracked beyond repair.

    There were a couple other customers at the shop picking around in my old parts, I told the owner of the shop he could sell the parts and take the money off my bill. I will find out if someone snagged the manifolds.

    I must have missed that episode somehow, I try to catch the powerblock everyweek. Im a Matco distributor and I get guys asking about the tools and they used on "insert project" all the time, so it helps if I saw the show lol.
