572BB Stuffed In!

Recommended Posts

hello everyone!

This is the GMC Syclone kit (im using the grill and bumper from the 93 S-10) And had to put a 572BB in it! lol Well it fits barely. Just building this one to get away from the bigger projects so this should be done in a month or two. Rims and tires from the 56 Nomad, rotors from a Tamiya kit. Paint is Met. Red and Sliver.

Manny

Thanks for looking!

Hey Derek, did ya have to use tha speed wrench, a 5 lb. hammer to enlarge tha bell-housing tunnel so yur sb would fit? Guy across tha street is putting, I think it's a 350 in his. He was out there for hours bang, banging to make room for his tranny's bell-housing.

Oh and yeah....how did ya get tha headers to fit in there with tha steering shaft?

His is that 2 dr station-wagon body.

I did't have to do that much hittin to get it to fit. but if i want to take the th350 out i have to pull the motor/trans at the same time. cant get to the top bellhousing bolts. but i dnd't want to have a big mess with the hammer. as for the headers i have sanderson's for the sbc s10 swap. i know that hedmen and some others make them. if i were to do it allover i would make my own :shock: ill try and get some pics up for yea guys. i had a set of race ported sportsmen heads and a 144 weiand blower on it but someone offerd me mor money then i had in to the parts. so now i am going with vortech heads and 125hp shot of nitrous, while i build a short block that can take 15-20 pis from a t-70 turbo :roll:
