Wow those things are heavy. Burnouts are fun no?

I got the filter out. Because the engine mounts tear apart, you can lift the engine an inch without unbolting anything. I bought the block to filter line set for 100 bucks and plugged the lines from the filter to the rad with 3/8ths pipe plugs. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/smallblocker2/bla...

haha what would you like a pic of? I'm supposing I could pull the Y-pipe every oil change! That would keep the manifold studs from seizing haha.

Nevermind. Got the engine in today, and the shorty filter fits, I just can't get it in or out. Plan B.

I tried a search, but they're such generic words, that I got 900 matches, anything from remote keyless entry, to diff oil threads. I've done AN/stainless braid filter relocators, and they work awesome, but I'm on a tight budget with this one. I bought the Blazer for 500 bucks with a knocking 4.3, an...

Hey guys, has anyone ditched the remote filter on their 4.3, and stuffed a shorty oil filter on the block? It looks like I have room for a filter on the block, but I don't know about getting it in and out? The front diff is an AWD unit. Thanks.

I used 2in x 3/8ths flat bar in between

I made mine 8in center to center, and got about 1.5 to 2 inches. The bolts should stick out from the nuts enough to get an approx. measurement.

Never mind, I can't make it work, I hate computers

By slipping, do you mean your 4wd stops working intermitenly?

Can be a "cost money Light" too. Continued multiple missfires can load the catylitic converters with gas and burn them out costing big bucks.

Cool man, I'll try a link. I still have a lot of work left to go on this. It's got a 355 vortec head 4 barrel. nv3500 5spd. I've almost finished the 12 bolt for the back. Still lots of bodywork left. But it's my daily driver in winter. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/smallblocker2/jfj029.jpg h...

She's a four door now. It's kinda homemade. About the same size as a ZR5.

Can we post pics here?

Hello. I'm new here. From Vancouver, live in Calgary for past four years. Regular over at v8s10.org and s10extremists somewhat. I've got an 87 S10 crewcab 4x4. I've got a couple other S10's too and an old goat. I'm currently a 3rd year auto tech at a local hotrod musclecar shop. Love my S10's though...
