Oh fun! Nice work shaving the bed. An old school roots blower on a 4-bolt small block would be perfect for this. I have a first generation S-10 that I am going to build, so I will be watching yours. Keep it up.

Back in high school, I told my dad that I wanted to put a V8 in his S-10 (which is now my S-10). His coworker has a V8 dime, and my dad told me it was a pointless endeavor, because they (V8 swapped S-10's) are plagued by overheating issues.

That did little to sway my determination, and I stumbled across the reverse cooling LT1/LT4. And have learned a great deal about radiator ducting and heat extraction as a result.

Granted, I don't yet have an LT4. I can't bring myself to settle for an LT1 (easy score out of a Caprice), because I want the 4-bolt LT4. And I know an LS would be a cheaper and easier swap. Everyone says it's not worth putting money into a small block when you can get more from a junkyard LS, for cheaper.

But I have wanted to build a boosted 383ci LT4 to put in that S-10 since I was in high school (over a decade ago).

I will follow your build, maybe it will inspire me to go get my dime and start building.
