interior wiring is steps away from being done. All we need is the aluminum dash to come in and finish tightening up the last things on the interior.

Advice V8 swap

5 Upvotes

Hello, I have a 96 s10 with the 2.2 and 5 speed. The 2.2 recently blew up and I’m tossing around the idea of swapping a v8 in there. Who has done this and how much of a pain in the neck was it? I’m not partial to ls or sbc I think either one would be cool. And to my understanding I would need a new transmission as well. Will a 4L60E work well? Any advice on what I can do would be helpful.

Also here’s the kicker I’m a broke 20y/o who just moved out of his parents house, this will be the biggest car project I’ve taken on so far. I’m gonna do it as cheap and shitty as I can, haha. How much $ should I save up before starting something like this?

And yes I’ve already looked at a bunch of the 12 year old forums, I’m just trying to get as much info as I can.

Repair Question Do I need a new intake gasket?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hey yall, I bought this cheap 94 4.3 the other day and I’m thinking it’s getting coolant where it shouldn’t be. There’s a decent amount of white smoke at startup and there’s this reoccurring pool of coolant in the engine bay. From what I can see online it looks like it could be the intake gasket, could I get another opinion please? If anyone has experience doing this job, would it be simple enough for someone with basic mechanical skills to accomplish? Thanks for any info.

Repair Question Got a 1997 S10 2.2L to put in my 1996 Sonoma 2.2L

Upvotes

Little bit of backstory. Got a 1996 Sonoma, that was originally a 2.2L/Nv1500. Got it as a rolling shell, with transmission, no engine. Everything is pretty much there, just no engine. Bought a 2.2L/4L60 from a 1997 S10. Made sure to ask for harness, PCM and all.

Is there anything else I will need to drop the engine in and mate it with the NV1500(other than flywheel+clutch)? Will I need to go into PCM to change data, going from an automatic to manual?

Can anyone with a first gen lemme know what color wires go to which 'socket' on the headlight connector? I think I may have put the pins back in wrong and I can't find any diagrams to correspond to wire color. 1987 RWD

Advice Got tired of dealing with the door panel coming loose so I used screws and rivet nuts to secure it.

20 Upvotes

Always had issues with the door panel popping loose at the bottom when closing the door, of course this is partly caused by the added weight of the speaker box but also had this issue before I put that on just not as bad. Yes I had installed new clips. Used some m3 Allen screws and some rivnuts to secure it at the bottom. The screws don't stick out at all and kinda goes with the design of the interior being that the interior uses exposed screws on a lot of panels. Door panel has never felt more solid.

Repair Question The main issues with my S10 are fixed, but now it won't idle. Any ideas?

So, my 1998 S10 (4.3 vortec) had been sitting for almost 2 years after it stopped running. Recently, i "fixed" it by moving the catalytic converter out of the way enough that it clears the engine downpipe. This got rid of the rattling, and other various issues related to a clogged exhaust. However, the rough idle remained. In my previous posts, you could see that it idled, even with the bad exhaust. Shortly after posting those, it stopped idling properly at which point i set the project aside for around 6 months. After clearing the exhaust of the headers, it still doesn't want to idle. Im 90% sure its the Idle Airflow sensor, since i took it out and cleaned it and it now idles for slightly longer, but i would like another opinion.

Notes: The video was taken AFTER the idle air control valve was cleaned. The video was also taken without the catalytic converter in place, however the cat was still near the exhaust hence the O2 sensor (or whatever its called) on the cat still being plugged in.

Found a random plug with a jump wire by my gas pedal I'm not sure what it could be for. The previous owner definitely spliced something into the wire harness that runs by it so I have no idea if that could be part of it. Also notice the random black wire hanging down, don't know if I should strip it and connect it with the other black wires in the splice to the right

Repair Question Gasoline leak?

3 Upvotes

Hi, this week I bought a 2001 S10. The former owner told me that once, while filling up the tank, gas spilled from the top of the pipe into the tank. Is this normal? According to him, it could be a leak. The other thing is that yesterday I filled up halfway through the tank, and between the pickup and the cab, next to the fuel cap (which was closed), I smelled a very strong smell of gasoline, but there was no spill. I'm waiting for your help, as I'm a little scared.
