yes, the velocity would decrease and you would not make as much horsepower. a 3.5" would be way too much and you'd never get it to fit the stock bolt holes anyway.

when i did mine i used the felpro gaskets and never touched the pan. went right in.

for what turbo? the stocker would do best w/ a 2.5" mandrel bent down pipe. it would spool faster with a 3" but would make less power. i believe that we have a 2.25" dp from the factory. rule of thumb is to match dp diameter to the exhaust outlet diameter.

it isn't difficult at all. you need to remove the crank pulley and harmonic balancer as well and you'll need a puller to do so. i don't remember how long it took me to tear it down that far. it took about 6 hours to change the timing chain and i had to take the timing cover and water pump off...

they were all bendix b/c the dealership doesn't like to stock many common parts for some reason. list price is like ~$60. the line cost $250 to replace :o at a local shop. i should have done it myself using teflon -03 aeroquip. it would've been way cheaper.

got the one side that had a leaky cylinder done only to find out the hard line that goes from the front to the back is what popped :( $$$$$ it wasn't at all difficult except for the figgin clip, spent an hour or so beating with screwdrivers and hammers to get it out, that is, after my snap-on...

thanks for the info. i'll post pics tommorrow night. i was hoping someone had the GM part # b/c a good friend of mine works a local dealership, but $13, damn i was expecting twice that. my factory repair manual showing a pic using two awls to get it off. i figured they would have a j tool for that.

i'm changing my rear brake cylinders tommorrow morning and need to know the part numbers for the s-10 manual rear cylinder that are suppose to bite harder. thanks

talk to christian to get the same parts i'm using from grainger. if he can't get them i can get them locally (through work) and ship 'em. my valve cost me $8 and the reg was $13. you still want that vac pump?

i'd like to get one too. thanks

yep.

i just looked at your pics. you two have been busier than flies on shit.

ian, i can get vacuum pumps for my companies cost. i'll look up the specs/price and email them to you tommorrow.

you need to start out with a 4x4 s-10 for the AWD. the output shaft is different on 2wd and 4wd th700r4s. or you just buy a syclone.

you would know adam, you played with enough carbon. ian- did you make a mold or just cover them like a cheap ass. you know that making a mold for something like that wouldn't be too difficult. looks good. i'd make stuff out of the carbon-kevlar i have, but i have no way to cut it.
