I've been hearing alot lately about dropping these 4.3's into the 6 cylinder cars. Please post pics when you decide to drop it in. Thanks, Billy.

P.S. Do you know the horsepower rating on the Vortec?

The horsepower varies depending on year/make model. I had a '99 Xtreme that stock was HP180 @ 4400 rpm and Torque (lb-ft)245 @ 2800 rpm. It's pretty easy to gain small amounts of HP. I am not too worried about it though as this is a daily driver and I am trying to stick to stock specs and HP/TQ for reliability reasons. Stock S10 is 3216 lbs. The 4.3 kept the Imports at bay in the S10. The Nova will be a bit lighter so it will work out fine.:D

Nice ride JR! i like the faceplate for your head unit. Did you make it yourself? what is it made of?

I ask because i am going to make one of my own, maybe fiberglass?
I am going to use the old am Face plate to make the mold.

Jon,

Yes I made it all. I made the panel/bracket that holds the head unit in out of sheet metal. (on my new shear:D)

It bolts to the stock bolt holes in the dash. Then I cut out a stock radio bezel, hand filed the edges and painted it to match the factory chrome & silver dash colors. I painted the sheet metal panel black so it kind looks like it's not there and blends into the bezel of the radio. Worked out pretty good. That pic was from my phone so it looks like POOP!!

I also made one out of aluminum but have not had time to to get out to a friends house to have it welded up. It's gong to be fully polished. I like polished bling bling:D

Thats the reason I made the one you see in the car.

I want my shop to be a place I can enjoy and at the same time I can accomplish all the things I DON'T want to pay someone else to do.(Which is just about everything) I am in the process of rampin up to do a little more constant side work. I'll put up some pictures when I am done.:D

Another sweet family car!

[Chori]

damn, you went through a bunch to make the face place.:D
i don't have the tools to make one out of sheet metal like you did.
I guess fiberglass it is then lol.

[JRChevy]

I didn't want it to look like poo so I put some time into it. The all aluminum one I made by hand. That one took a while.

[novanutcase]

WOW JR! I didn't know you were so talented! I'm gonna have to pull the car out of Rodgers place and haul it up to your garage!
