    Good job, Roman. Just a word from an old rodder, not a good idea to stand your hood on the "Points". Rather, if you have to stand it up, stand it on the side (Points facing to the right or left). Just some free advice from someone who has bent a hood or two.

    I've done a bunch of s10s if you're going to clean every thing to make things easier to get to there's not that many bolts holding the front clip on remove it it's easier to get engine out and back in and if your using shorty headers you can cut the back corners of the fender welds two fold helps with air flow to keep cooler and you can get to collectors easyer

    Hi Roman, Would you or do you know anyone that would be willing to do a 350 TPI swap in my 1987 S10 Blazer, Tahoe, 2.8 V-6 4X4. It is a 62K mile garage kept like new condition survivor. Original two tone blue paint. Looks like it was never sat in, under the hood it looks like it was never put on the road. It needs the swap, its 2.8 is slower than a riding lawn mower and it just won't get out of its own way.
